Abstract
This report presents a 68-year-old woman in whom two different types of benign cardiac tumors were found. This patient, with multiple comorbidities, presented with weight loss. An initial computed tomography scan showed a left atrial mass. This was followed by a transthoracic echocardiogram, which revealed two masses, one in each atria, with different echo characteristics. The patient underwent excision of the mass lesions.
