<abstract language="eng">
			<p>Cardiac tumors are divided into primary and secondary tumors. Primary cardiac
tumors are very rare, with an autopsy incidence of 0.001% to 0.03%1.Most (>80%)
primary cardiac tumors are benign, and myxoma is by far the most common1,2.
Myxoma constitutes about 50% of all benign cardiac tumors in adults. Most
myxomas (>80%) are found in the left atrium. We report a rare case of a massive
left atrial myxoma causing mitral valve obstruction and presenting as positional
dizziness. Though cardiac myxomas are known to present with various nonspecific
clinical symptoms1, orthostatic hypotension is not listed as a presenting
symptom of atrial tumors in most textbooks of internal medicine or cardiology1.
Sothis case is rare in this sense.</p>
