Key Result

Right atrial myxomas can present with nonspecific gastrointestinal manifestations mimicking pancreatitis, which frequently leads to diagnostic delays.

Key Points

To investigate the clinical presentation and diagnostic imaging of a right atrial myxoma that resembles pancreatitis.
Utilized multimodality imaging techniques for diagnosis.
Analyzed clinical symptoms suggestive of gastrointestinal problems.
Reviewed case history and imaging results.
Confirmed diagnosis of right atrial myxoma through imaging.
Identified gastrointestinal manifestations causing initial diagnostic confusion.
Noted the rarity of myxomas presenting with nonspecific symptoms.

Structured PICO

Population

Patient with a right atrial myxoma mimicking pancreatitis

Intervention

Multimodality imaging

Highlights the use of multimodality imaging in diagnosing rare right atrial myxomas that present atypically, such as mimicking pancreatitis.

Main Result

Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%

Abstract

Right atrial myxomas are rare and may present with nonspecific systemic or gastrointestinal manifestations, leading to diagnostic delay.
