The Spanish Pediatric Association (Asociación Española de Pediatría, AEP) has as one of its main objectives the dissemination of rigorous and up-to-date scientific information on the various areas of pediatrics. Annals of Pediatrics is an open access journal that serves as the Association's Scientific Expression Organ and constitutes the vehicle through which members communicate. Annals of Pediatrics publishes, in English and Spanish, original research papers on pediatrics, as well as review articles prepared by experts in each specialty, and guidelines or positioning documents prepared by the different Societies/Specialized Sections integrated into the Spanish Pediatric Association. The journal, a reference for Spanish-speaking pediatrics, is indexed in the most important international databases: Index Medicus/Medline IBECS, IME, SCOPUS, Science Citation Index Expanded, Journal Citations Report, Embase/Excerpta Medica, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).

Se presenta el caso de una niña de 5 años de edad, con un mixoma en el tracto de salida del ventrículo izquierdo, asintomática, diagnosticada ecográficamente por soplo cardíaco, que se confirmó con angiorresonancia magnética nuclear antes de practicar exéresis quirúrgica. Se subraya la importancia del ecocardiograma transtorácico para el diagnóstico precoz de este tipo de procesos.

We report the case of a 5 year-old girl who presented asymptomatic myxoma in the left ventricular outflow tract. The tumor was initially detected by echocardiography, which was performed for heart murmur. This diagnosis was later confirmed by magnetic angioresonance imaging which enabled prompt surgical removal. We emphasize the advantages of transthoracic echocardiography in the early diagnosis of this kind of tumor.
