| Popis: | Myxoma is the most common bening cardiac tumourt. Approximately 75-80 % of cardiac myxomas are located in the left atrium. The most common non-specific symptoms are such as shortness of breath, syncope. A 74-year-old female patient was admitted to our outpatient clinic with shortness of breath and chest pain, in the echocardiography showed a mobile mass in the right atrium. The patient, whose diagnosis of myxoma was confirmed by trans esophageal echocardiography, underwent intracardiac mass excision. Because the right atrial myxomas are rare, we wanted to present our patient. An underlying cardiac pathology should be kept in mind in patients presenting with symptoms such as non-specific breathlessness |
