Prolapsing right atrial myxoma. 1979

K Mori, and M Oonaka, and T Tanaka, and R Takeda

Echocardiography was of great value in establishing the correct diagnosis in a patient with symptoms of congestive heart failure due to a prolapsing right atrial myxoma. The movement of the tumor into the right ventricle through the atrioventricular orifice during diastole was identified by the echocardiogram and confirmed by angiography and direct observations during surgery. The indicator dilution curve also showed abnormal hemodynamic features simulating tricuspid incompetence, in relation to the movement of the tumor.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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
