Right atrial myxoma mimicking tricuspid stenosis

A 62-year-old man showed up at the cardiology clinic with symptoms of fatigue, shortness of breath and swelling in the abdomen and legs. A pedunculated mobile mass with a short stem in the right atrium was found to originate from the opening of the inferior vena cava and prolapse in the right ventricle through a tricuspid valve during diastole in echocardiography. The patient was referred to our department and surgery was planned for the diagnosis of right atrial myxoma. The mass with the surrounding tissue was removed surgically using the cardiopulmonary bypass method. No postoperative complications were observed in the currently asymptomatic patient who is still under our follow-up program.
