Abstract

Typically, cardiac maxomas arise from the interatrial septum at the border of the fossa ovalis in the left atrium, whereas atypical right atrial myxoma, especially with spontaneous rupture, is extremely rare. Here we report the diagnostic evaluation and successful surgical resection of an atypical myxoma with spontaneous rupture arising from the posterior wall of the right atrium in a 34-year-old male.
