Abstract

Primary tumours of the heart are not common.The commonest of these primary tumours are myxomas.Usually clinical manifestations are equivocall and diagnosed coincidentally. In our case the patient was admitted to our clinic with overt right sided heart failure. Further evaluation with transthoracic echocardiography showed a large nonhomogeneous mass in the right atrium prolapsing through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle and cured by heart surgery. Key words: Atrial Myxoma; Heart Failure.
