Right atrial myxoma is a rare intracardiac tumor that is often difficult to diagnose. Pulmonary embolism from tumor fragments originating from the tumor mass is a potentially fatal complication. Early diagnosis of cardiac myxoma is important since surgical treatment leads to resolution with low rates of recurrence and good long-term survival. The presence of a cardiac myxoma can be heralded by nonspecific constitutional symptoms as well as by disturbances in the clotting mechanism.
右心房黏液瘤是一种罕见的心脏内肿瘤，通常难以诊断。源自肿瘤块的肿瘤碎片导致的肺栓塞是一种潜在的致命并发症。心脏黏液瘤的早期诊断很重要，因为手术治疗可使病情缓解，复发率低且长期生存率良好。心脏黏液瘤的存在可由非特异性全身症状以及凝血机制紊乱预示。
