Abstract

Primary cardiac tumours are uncommon, being documented at an estimated low incidence of less than 0.19%. Myxoma is the most common neoplasm encountered in many series, commonly involving the left atrium, with the right atrial location occurring in about one-fifth of cases. The manifestations in patients with cardiac myxoma are protean, ranging from being asymptomatic to mimicking hosts of cardiac disorders, and diagnosis is commonly established using 2D-echocardiography. We present two cases of probable right atrial mass presenting with paroxysmal palpitation, lightheadedness and constitutional symptoms. The series demonstrates the occurrence of this rather rare disorder in our population and the prevailing limitations experienced in treatment.
