Blue toe syndrome is a condition in which patient presented with cyanotic toe caused by fibrino-platelet micro-emboli occlusion of the small digital arteries while atrial myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumour.

Further investigation and echocardiography revealed a mass over the left atrium that lead to the provisional diagnosis of atrial myxoma.
