Primary benign tumours of the heart are rare, with myxomas being the commonest. They are neoplasms of endocardial origin and generally appear to grow rapidly. The presence of connective tissue fibers encrusted with iron and calcium known as Gamna Gandy bodies may indicate a longer duration of tumor. We present a case of cardiac myxoma with Gamna Gandy bodies, which is an infrequent finding, and briefly review relevant literature.
