Abstract :
Right atrial myxomas are rare, accounting for only 10% of all cardiac myxomas, with the majority being left atrial. Despite their rarity, they can mimic conditions like a right atrial thrombus, complicating the diagnosis. This case report presents the diagnostic journey of a right atrial myxoma in a 54-year-old female patient, focusing on the importance of differentiating it from a thrombus. The report includes detailed diagnostic workup and emphasizes the role of advanced imaging modalities and histopathological examination.
