Tumors of the heart are a very rare disease in cardiology practice. They are more frequently benign. Neonatal diagnosis is possible, but the accidental late discovery of a cardiac mass remains the most common situation. We report a case of a cardiac tumor in a 15-year-old patient symptomatic of palpitations. The belonging of the tissue to the cardiac muscle was confirmed on echocardiography and on other radiological findings. Regular monitoring was chosen at first then surgical resection was decided as an increase in the tumor’s size was noted on the echocardiographic control.
