    Abstract:
    We have experienced a surgical treatment of right atrial myxoma in a 76-year-old woman. The patient was admitted with complaints of palpitation and low grade fever. Echocardiography revealed the atrial tumor, which prolapsed into the right ventricle in diastole. The tumor was removed under cardiopulmonary bypass including the atrial septum where it was attached. The tumor weighed 68 g and showed typical pathological findings of myxoma. The patient is doing well 6 years after surgery.
