Introduction: Atrial myxomas are the most common primary heart tumors.\nBecause of nonspecific symptoms, early diagnosis may be a challenge [1] [2].\nLeft atrial myxoma may or may not produce characteristic findings on auscultation.\nTwo-dimensional echocardiography is the diagnostic procedure of\nchoice. Most atrial myxomas are benign and can be removed by surgical resection.\nCardiac myxoma is located mostly in left atrium [3]. This was amazing\nhuge mass of cardiac myxoma in unusual part of the heart with the patient\nshowed significant response to anticoagulation after presumed recurrence\nof tumor. Case Presentation: A case of giant right atrial myxoma mimicking\nthe right ventricular tumor is described. Surgery was performed in\n41 years old female and the fist like tumor with its stalk was excised. Surprisingly\nit recurred after 2 month as the smaller tumor was completely resolved\nwith anticoagulation therapy. In addition because of previous normal echocardiography\nthat was done for another reasons, we estimated the speed of\ntumorâ??s growth (3 millimeter/month). Conclusion: To sum up a very large\nmyxoma in right ventricle may only present with occasional dyspnea and we\ncan diagnose it with precise evaluation and with performing on time echocardiography.
