Primary cardiac tumors are a rare occurrence amongst general population, myxoma being the most common benign primary cardiac tumor. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM) is a genetic cardiovascular disorder which usually presents with syncope or palpitations. The case we present here is a unique amalgamation of both these pathologies which are uncommon as well as completely unrelated to each other as far as literature describes. The patient presented with symptoms of congestive cardiac failure without any history of syncope and palpitation ,however echocardiography revealed the presence of HCM as well as atrial myxoma. This case reveals that remote possibility of such coexisting conditions should be kept in mind in clinical practice and also the fact that HCM can notoriously remain undetected presenting only as heart failure instead of its usual clinical features.
