Abstract

Cardiac myxomas which are commonly located in the left atrium, represent 50% of the benign heart tumors. Right atrial myxomas are rare and can be asymptomatic. In other cases, symptoms may arise from pulmonary and paradoxical systemic embolization. Myxomas may also present with constitutional symptoms. In addition, tricuspid valvular obstruction may mimic tricuspid stenosis. This report presents a 71-year-old female patient presenting with dyspnea, weight loss, fatigue, and abdominal distention secondary to a large right atrial myxoma. The diagnosis was established by the help of transthoracic echocardiography and confirmed by histopatologic examination.

Özet

Kardiyak miksomalar benign kalp tümörlerinin %50'sini oluştururlar ve sıklıkla sol atriyumda bulunurlar. Sağ atriyal miksomalar nadir olup asemptomatik olabilirler. Bazı vakalarda pulmoner veya paradoksal sisemik embolizasyona bağlı semptomlar görülebileceği gibi yapısal semptomlara da neden olabilirler. Buna ilaveten, triküspid kapak obstrüksiyonuna bağlı olarak triküspid stenozunu taklit edebilirler. Bu yazıda dev sağ atriyal miksoması olan, dispne, kilo kaybı, halsizlik ve karında şişlik ile gelen 71 yaşında bir kadın olgu sunuldu. Tanı transtorasik ekokardiyografi ile konuldu ve histopatolojik inceleme ile doğrulandı.
