Cardiac myxomas can rarely involve the right atrium, get calcified and involve the inferior vena cava (IVC). Early surgical intervention is critical to prevent life-threatening complications. We presented the case of a 39-year-old male with fever, cough and shortness of breath for 1 week. Initial laboratory investigations revealed leucocytosis and thrombocytopenia. His electrocardiogram was normal, and his chest X-ray showed bilateral infiltrates. Based on the findings of a high-resolution chest computed tomography scan, echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, we made a provisional diagnosis of calcified right atrial myxoma extending up to the IVC. We managed the case with cardiopulmonary bypass via aortic cannulation followed by a right atriotomy. Post-operatively, the patient’s condition improved and was doing well on monthly follow-ups.

“…A computed tomography scan of the chest, transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to evaluate cardiac lesions and rule out differentials [ 3 , 7 ]. The mainstay of management is early surgical resection of the tumour to prevent life-threatening complications [ 7 , 8 ].…”

Atrial myxoma is a rare cardiac disease but has a broad clinical presentation and complication that involves in heart, lungs, brain, and systemic circulation, among them right atrial myxoma is too rare. Commonly atrial myxomas are often pedunculated and soft in texture, it may be intact or free floated in the upper chambers of heart. The myxoma diameter varies from 10 to 150 mm with a weight of between 15 and 180 grams, which is present by a smooth, villous, soft or friable surface. The embolic events are associated with villous and friable myxomas, while the smooth myxomas are associated with obstructive type and are usually large in size. Proper preoperative evaluation and multidisciplinary teamwork helps to improve the post operative outcome, at the same time it reduces the intraoperative risks and increases the chance of survival of the patient. In this case study we had presented a successful excision of rare case of large free-floating pedunculated right atrial myxoma.
