“…Sometimes, these myxomas can be found in the ventricles, aorta, pulmonary artery, vena cava, or other organs. [1][2][3][4] They are heterogeneous in composition, consisting of areas with hemorrhage, necrosis, fibrosis, calcification, and cyst formation. Typically, these myxomas are pedunculated with a stalk attached to the interatrial septum at fossa ovalis region.…”

Atrial myxoma is the most frequent intracardiac tumor, account ing for nearly 50% of benign cardiac tumours in adults. We present here a rare case report of a solitary left atrial myxoma attached to the left atrial wall near the origin of the right pulmo nary vein. The stalk of tumor was not attached to the interatrial septum, which is the most common site of attachment. Instead, it was attached on the wall of left atrium adjacent to the inter atrial septum. Surgical exploration confirmed its attachment in the left atrium near the origin of right upper pulmonary vein.
