We present the case of a patient with acute coronary syndrome with ST segment elevation with fibrinolytic treatment derived for rescue angioplasty. In the transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE), after the coronary angiography, a mass attached to the interatrial septum is observed, with suspicion of myxoma vs thrombus in transit. Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is performed, the mass is observed related to the interatrial septum with thrombus attached. The diagnosis of myxoma was confirmed during surgical resection and pathological anatomy.
