[Polymyalgia syndrome and atrial myxoma].
We present a case of polymyalgia-like syndrome in a 62-years-old woman with four month history of severe headache, muscular claudication, asthenia, normochromic, normocytic anaemia and elevation of erytrocyte sedimentation rate. A diagnosis of giant left atrial myxoma was made brought about by thoracoabdominal magnetic resonance. Their surgical exeresis was followed by gradual disappearance of symptoms and normalization of laboratory parameters.
