Key result
Surgical excision of a rare, large 9x6 cm multilobulated right atrial myxoma was successfully performed in a 35-year-old woman, resulting in stable hemodynamic recovery.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the rare presentation of a large right atrial myxoma and demonstrates successful surgical excision.
Supports feasibility of surgical excision for large right atrial myxomas; hypothesis-generating and should not alter practice.
Primary intracardiac tumors are rare and approximately 50-55% are myxomas. The majority of myxomas are located in the left atrium. Here We report a case of a large myxoma in the right atrium, which is an uncommon location for this type of tumor who underwent operative intervention with excision of a 9x6 cm multilobulated mass. In this case report, we emphasize the rarity of large myxomas in the right atrium and the difficulty of differential diagnosis given their dimension and location.
