ABSTRACT
Primary tumors of the heart are uncommon lesions that can mimic almost any type of cardiac disease. Over 90 per cent of myxoma which are the most common cardiac tumor occur in the atria, with 3 to 4 times as many occuring on the left as on the right. The development of nonivasive echocardiographic technique has made it possible to screen large numbers of patients with atrial myxoma with ease and safe. A 28 year old housewife was admitted because of dyspnea for 5 months. Clinical diagnosis of right atrial myxoma was made by echocardiography and right atrial angiocardiogram. Surgical resection was performed successfully. We presented a case of right atrial myxoma with a review of literatures.
