Myxomas are the most common benign primary cardiac tumors in adults, occurring in 95% of cases in the atria, typically in the left atrium. Very rarely its presentation is extracardiac, its incidence is currently unknown due to the few reported cases. We present the case of a 53-year-old man who was admitted with chronic ischemia of the left upper limb, due to a dependent lesion of the aorta, imaging studies were performed that made a presumptive diagnosis of myxoma of the aortic arch, he underwent tumor resection. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological study.
