N2  - Myxoma, which is the most common primary tumour of the heart, is commonly located in the left atrium. Although intra cardiac myxomas are histologically benign, they may be the source of cerebrovascular emboli, cause of mitral stenosis and nonspecific systemic complaints like fever and arthralgia. A55-year-old woman was followed by rheumatology clinic because of sub-febrile fever and arthralgia for 6 months. She was admitted to our clinic with complaints of dyspnea and orthopnea. Transthoracic echocardiography showed giant myxoma in the left atrium. Transmitral pressure half time (PHT) was assessed by continuous wave doppler and measured 2 maximum/mean 29/17 mmHg transmitral gradient. Mitral valvular area was measured 1,6 cm by PHT. We demonstrated a mass like myxoma, which originates from interatrial septum and caused functional mitral valve stenosis, size of 55x31 mm by trans-eosophageal echocardiogram. Surgery was performed and the intracardiac mass was removed. Pathological examination demonstrated myxoma. We report a patient of a huge left atrial myxoma with functional mitral valve stenosis and complaints of sub-febrile fever and arthralgia. 2 months after the operation the patient's subfebrile fever disappeared and complaints of arthralgia decreased. The complaints completely disappeared and sedimentation rate was normal after 4 months. Sub-febrile fever and arthralgia was suggested to be secondary to myxoma
