Introduction: Certain cardiac tumors are asymptomatic and are detected by chance after autopsy. The clinical signs and symptoms of cardiac tumors vary greatly and are determined mainly by the tumor's location and size rather than its histology. Cardiac masses have a broad differential diagnosis, and it is critical to differentiate between neoplastic and non-neoplastic cardiac masses and benign and malignant neoplasms. Surgery is advised in situations of heart failure symptoms, treatment-resistant ventricular arrhythmias, or blockage of the heart's inlet or outlet pathways. Presentation: In this research, a 60-year-old man presented to the hospital with complaints of shortness of breath, and after an echocardiogram and CT scan, he was diagnosed with a right atrial tumor, which required surgery. Conclusion: The patient was sent to the oncology unit for additional treatment after surgery, excision of the mass, and analysis of the pathology sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
