A highly unusual right atrial mass presented in two women

Right atrial tumour mass of unusual origin.

Unusual presentation of a culture-positive right atrial mass.

We report a patient with a mass in the right atrium which led to pulmonary embolism. Postoperatively the mass was identified as a tuberculoma and it was culture-positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Patient responded to modified antitubercular treatment and discharged from hospital in satisfactory condition.

Myxoma of the Superior Vena Cava Origin Presented as a Right Atrial Mass

Myxomas are the most common benign cardiac tumors. Myxomas are more common in the left heart chamber than the right side chamber. An extracardiac origin presenting as a right atrial mass is very rare. We present a case of myxoma originating in the superior vena cava (SVC) in a 24-year-old man, who underwent surgical resection. Preoperative two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrated a mass in...

RIGHT ATRIAL MYXOMA

A case of right atrial myxoma in a 5 year old male is presented. The Patient was admitted in the pediatric department with systemic manifestations. Myxoma was incidentally diagnosed.

Right atrial mass: a diagnostic dilemma.

Dear Editor, The differential diagnoses of intracardiac masses include vegetation, thrombus or tumours. Size, shape, location, mobility and attachment of the mass combined with the clinical fi ndings help differentiate etiology. Echocardiography became the gold standard test for the diagnosis of intracardiac masses and later on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) further improved the accurac...
