| Abstract | ||||
| Atrial myxomas are rare benign tumors; causing obstructive or embolic complications, and even death, depending on their site and size. Therefore, once diagnosed, it should be surgically resected. Atrial myxomas are present about 75% in left atrium (LA) and about 15% in right atrium (RA). Early diagnosis is a challenge because of nonspecific manifestations, and sometimes is asymptomatic and discovered accidentally during TTE. | ||||
