Abstract

Atrial myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors. They are commonly found in the atria and are attached to the interatrial septum. We report a case of a right atrial cardiac myxoma in a 47-year-old woman who presented with fatigue, right-sided chest pain, and a syncopal episode. Echocardiography demonstrated an atypical attachment of the myxoma to the free wall of the right atrium. The features of cardiac myxoma and the role of echocardiography in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac myxomas are also discussed.
