Key result
Surgical resection successfully treats a rare right atrial paraganglioma with no recurrence at 4 months.
Why the study?
Right atrial paraganglioma is an extremely rare primary cardiac neoplasm that can mimic myxoma, requiring detailed imaging for diagnosis.
Population
1 patient with right atrial mass
Comparison
Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography and computed tomography imaging

This case highlights the echocardiographic features of an extremely rare primary right atrial paraganglioma mimicking a myxoma.
Garg et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Right Atrial Paraganglioma (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated on Tumor recurrence. Surgical resection of a rare right atrial paraganglioma mimicking a myxoma was successful, with no recurrence at 4 months follow-up.
