Myxoma is the commonest intracardiac tumor and it is well known to present in bizarre ways. Calcification of the tumor is uncommon, though probably more frequent in right than in left heart tumors. Diagnosis can be followed by surgery with satisfactory results. A 36 years old man with partially calcified right ventricular myxoma and a 51 years old man with calcified left atrial myxoma, which were revealed different echogenic densities on 2-dimensional echocardiogram and gross calcification on fluoroscopy, were treated with surgical removal. We report above two cases of calcified myxoma with literature review.
