Key Points
- To describe a case of right atrial myxoma associated with polycythemia and highlight the diagnostic and surgical procedures required for its removal.
- Clinical evaluation of an individual presenting with an intracardiac right atrial mass and polycythemia (N=1).
- Application of angiocardiography for definitive preoperative visualization and localization of the intracardiac tumor.
- Successful surgical extirpation of the right atrial myxoma was achieved.
- Diagnostic visualization via angiocardiography enabled targeted excision, expanding the historically documented series of successful right atrial tumor removals.
