Myxoma is the most common benign tumor of the heart. Most patients present with no symptoms, only a few patients present with exertional dyspnea and stroke. We introduce this rare case presenting with exertional angina, which was caused by coronary steal due to neovascularization, proved by coronary angiography and cardiac stress testing.
