Abstract
Primary cardiac tumors are rare with myxoma being the most common benign cardiac
tumor. They are usually sporadic, affecting left atrium and frequently occur in women.
They are known to cause valvular obstruction, thromboembolism and arrhythmias. We
present a case of right atrial myxoma complicated by pulmonary embolism. The atrial
myxoma was diagnosed on autopsy.
