Abstract
Myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors, rarely found in the right atrium. Myxomas usually seen in women, typically between the ages of 40 and 60. We present a case of giant right atrial myxoma that prolapsing through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, in a 37-year-old man with constitutional symptoms. There was a discrepancy between atrial mass and intensity of symptoms. Our patient underwent surgical treatment with excision.
