Transesophageal echocardiography showed a giant left atrial myxoma (Figure 1AGo) similar to the head of Mickey Mouse (Figure 1BGo) in a 55-year-old woman admitted to our institution with palpitations and fatigue when walking. The patient was successfully operated upon by right transatrial and transseptal access and the tumor with two lobes like Mickey’s ears was removed (Figure 2Go).
