Cardiac myxoid tumors are extremely rare with an annual incidence of 0.5 to 1 per million, with a female/male ratio of 3:1. Carney complex is an autosomal dominant endocrinopathy that includes Cushing’s syndrome, acromegaly, pigmented skin lesions, and myxomatous lesions in different organs. We report the case of a 33-year-old female patient with a history of adrenalectomy, for whom a chest computed tomography angiography incidentally showed the presence of a right intraventricular mass with involvement of the outflow tract. Surgical excision was decided upon, with subsequent biopsy with data suggestive of a cardiac myxoid neoplasm. Tumors associated with Carney complex are treated surgically on an individual basis.
