Özet
A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for routine cardiac evaluation. Transthoracic echocardiography upon cardiac murmur showed a 1.9x2.9 cm right ventricular mass, protruding into the pulmonary artery during systole. Although the mass caused a maximal resting outflow gradient of 22 mmHg due to the obstruction of the pulmonary artery during systole, the patient was asymptomatic. Transesophageal echocardiography indicated a suspicious diagnosis of the right ventricular myxoma. The surgical excision of the intracardiac mass was scheduled due to an increased risk of embolism. The histopathological diagnosis was myxoma.
