Right atrial myxoma arising from the inferior vena cava.

ABSTRACT

A middle-aged man presented with recent-onset dyspnea and recurrent syncopal attacks at our institute. Echocardiography revealed a large mass arising from the inferior vena cava and prolapsing into the right atrium and ventricle. Histopathologic examination revealed the classic features of a myxoma. This report is of a rare case of a cardiac myxoma arising from the inferior vena cava.
