  • Title: Cardiac varix in the right atrium.
    Author: Shiraishi M, Kimura C, Yamaguchi A, Adachi H.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2012 May; 14(5):686-8. PubMed ID: 22314009.
    Abstract:
    A 73-year old man underwent transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography and computed tomography, which revealed what appeared to be an asymptomatic primary mobile tumour located in the right atrium. During surgery, the mass was found to be associated with the right atrial septum and was subsequently resected. Histopathology of the mass revealed a cardiac varix with phleboliths. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and no signs of recurrence at the 10-month follow-up.
