Echocardiographic diagnosis of prolapsing right atrial myxoma. 1976

Y Atsuchi, and Y Nagai, and K Nakamura, and Y Komatsu, and Y Osamura

A case of right atrial myxoma with mimicking symptoms and signs of constrictive peridarditis is reported. The presence of a prolapsing right atrial tumor was easily recognized in the right ventricle during diastole by a routine echocardiography and it was confirmed by cineangiography and operation.

D009232 Myxoma A benign neoplasm derived from connective tissue, consisting chiefly of polyhedral and stellate cells that are loosely embedded in a soft mucoid matrix, thereby resembling primitive mesenchymal tissue. It occurs frequently intramuscularly where it may be mistaken for a sarcoma. It appears also in the jaws and the skin. (From Stedman, 25th ed) Angiomyxoma,Angiomyxomas,Myxomas
D010494 Pericarditis, Constrictive Inflammation of the PERICARDIUM that is characterized by the fibrous scarring and adhesion of both serous layers, the VISCERAL PERICARDIUM and the PARIETAL PERICARDIUM leading to the loss of pericardial cavity. The thickened pericardium severely restricts cardiac filling. Clinical signs include FATIGUE, muscle wasting, and WEIGHT LOSS.
