Case Report (n=1)
Reports an exceptionally large right atrial myxoma measuring 18x7x5 cm and weighing 170 g.
Alerts clinicians to giant right atrial myxomas; extends documented size spectrum but leaves open optimal management strategies.
Right atrial myxomas have rarely been reported. The authors describe a giant hourglass-shaped atrial myxoma consisting of three lobes; one of them had protruded into the right ventricle. Its size was 18×7×5 cm and weight was 170 g. The authors were not able to find another myxoma as big as this one in the literature, so they are reporting it. They review and discuss the literature involving the subject.
