ABSTRACT
Primary tumors of the heart are rare. Half of all cardiac tumors are myxoma of which 20% are located in the right atrium. Especially multiple myxomas in the cardiac chamber were rarely reported. Clinically, myxomas present with various manifestations due to obstruction to blood flow, embolization,and constitutional changes. The association of pulmonary emboli and right atrial myxoma has been well documented but pulmonary emboli are more likely to be asymptomatic, misdiagnosed, or diagnosed late than peripherally-sited emboli. We report a case of multiple right atrial myxomas complicating pulmonary emboli in a 73-year-old man who had features of pulmonary embolism and was found to have multiple right atrial myxomas.
