Author ProfileAbstract
A 22-year male presented with complaints of dyspnea. Multimodality
imaging revealed a polypoidal right atrial mass with sub-massive
pulmonary embolism. The patient underwent urgent surgery. The
pathological examination confirmed it as cardiac myxoma. Cardiac myxoma,
a most common primary cardiac tumor, is commonly found in the left
atrium. The right atrium is an uncommon site and the usual mode of
presentation is the tumor or thrombus embolisation to the pulmonary
circulation.21 Jan 2022Submitted to Echocardiography 22 Jan 2022Submission Checks Completed
