Abstract

Myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors, rarely found in the right atrium.Myxomas usually seen in women, typically between the ages of 40 and 60.We present a case of giant right atrial myxoma that prolapsing through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, in a 37-year-old man with constitutional symptoms.There was a discrepancy between atrial mass and intensity of symptoms.Our patient underwent surgical treatment with excision.
