Key result
Surgical resection successfully treated a 6.3 cm right atrial myxoma in a 52-year-old man who initially presented with chest pain mimicking acute coronary syndrome.
Why the study?
Right atrial myxomas are rare and present with varied clinical manifestations, requiring documentation of atypical cases to facilitate early recognition and directed management.

Right atrial myxomas can present atypically with chest pain mimicking acute coronary syndrome, highlighting the need for careful investigation of such symptoms.
Molina et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Right Atrial Myxoma (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated. Surgical resection successfully treated a 6.3 cm right atrial myxoma in a 52-year-old man who initially presented with chest pain mimicking acute coronary syndrome.
