Sudden cardiac death is a phenomenon that affects more than 200,000 individuals annually in the United States. Among sudden cardiac deaths, only a fractionally small portion is thought to be attributable to intracardiac neoplasms. Though rarely implicated as the primary cause of death, cardiac myxomas are the most common benign neoplasms of the heart and have been known to cause death due to multifactorial embolic events, fatal arrhythmias, and frank obstructive events. In this case, a healthy, asymptomatic young male was found unresponsive in his residence. Examination of the heart at autopsy revealed dilation of the right atrium and a large, hemorrhagic, irregular, and obstructing mass arising from the right atrium, consistent with cardiac myxoma. When unusual cardiac findings are discovered at autopsy, a systematic investigation of the heart, including retaining the organ for cardiac pathology consultation, is mandatory to correctly identify the cause of death.
