A probable right atrial myxoma prolapsing through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle: a case report

INTRODUCTION Myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumour. This case report illustrates the case of a probable right atrial myxoma prolapsing through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, and the fatal outcome if such a mass is not promptly detected and excised. CASE PRESENTATION A 51-year old man presented with a 1-year history of recurrent pedal and abdominal swelling, and 6-mon...

Abnormal diastolic movement of the interventricular septum caused by a prolapsing right atrial myxoma.

A 40 year old woman with cough and exertional dyspnoea was found to have a large right atrial myxoma by M mode and cross sectional echocardiography. Prolapse of the tumour into the right ventricle occurred during diastole with sufficient force to cause mechanical distortion of the interventricular septum. Septal motion became normal after surgical resection of the myxoma.

Giant left atrial myxoma causing drop attacks by prolapsing into the mitral valve.

Atrial myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor. Its clinical presentation varies greatly from asymptomatic incidental mass to serious life-threatening cardiovascular complications. We herein describe the clinicopathological and imaging features of a huge left atrial myxoma protruding into the left ventricle during diastole and obstructing diastolic filling of the left ventricle thus cau...
