True, cardiac myxoma is a benign tumor. On the other hand, it is serious by its complications, in particular embolic. The diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome in connection with a myxoma of the left atrium is retained before the association of an emboligenic intracardiac myxoma and an acute coronary syndrome in the absence of atherosclerotic lesions and the absence of intracardiac thrombus. We report a case of left atrium myxoma complicated by acute coronary syndrome in a 50-year-old patient operated on in our department and we will review the literature.
