  • Title: Giant right atrial myxoma: characterization with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
    Author: Ridge CA, Killeen RP, Sheehan KM, Ryan R, Mulligan N, Luke D, Quinn M, Dodd JD.
    Journal: Clin Imaging; 2010; 34(3):231-3. PubMed ID: 20416489.
    Abstract:
    A 53-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a 2-week history of dyspnoea and chest pain. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography was performed to exclude acute pulmonary embolism (PE). This demonstrated a large right atrial mass and no evidence of PE. Transthoracic echocardiography followed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a mobile right atrial mass. Surgical resection was then performed confirming a giant right atrial myxoma. We describe the typical clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of right atrial myxoma.
