Atypical Location of an Atrial Myxoma: A Case Report.

Here, we report a case of a right atrial myxoma attached to the lateral wall, which is seen in only 10% cases, impinging upon the tricuspid valve. A 57 year old male normotensive, non-diabetic, nonsmoker patient was presented to us on 5th of August 2018 with the complaints of cough, dyspnea and orthopnea for the last two years. This type of presentation is very rare. After excision of myxoma, there was a significant improvement in the signs and symptoms of the patient. In this report, we emphasize the rarity of myxoma in the Right Atrium, and its difficulty in diagnosis because of its uncommon location and atypical presentation, surgical management has shown to quickly alleviate the majority of symptom and expectant sequeale.
