Abstract Diffuse thickening, a layered appearance of the gallbladder wall and the accumulation of surrounding fluid are considered as sensitive and relatively specific imaging findings of gallbladder inflammation. In the absence of gallstones, the diagnosis of acalculous cholecystitis can be further supported by the presence of fever, epigastric pain, right upper abdominal quadrant (RUQ) tenderness on inspiration and elevated markers of inflammation. In this report, we describe a 35-year-old schoolteacher who presented with all of the above clinical, laboratory and imaging findings that were eventually attributed to gallbladder oedema and liver congestion (abdominal imaging and RUQ tenderness) caused by an atrial myxoma interfering, with the atrioventricular circulation of the right heart and causing constitutional manifestations (fever and elevated markers of inflammation).

Introduction. Myxoma is the most common primary benign heart tumor. The most frequent location is the left atrium, the chamber of the heart that receives oxygen- rich blood from the lungs. Myxomas usually develop in women, typically between the ages of 40 and 60. Symptoms may occur at any time, but most often they are asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic for a long period of time. Symptoms usually go along with body position, and are related to compression of the heart cavities, embolization and the appearance of general symptoms. The diagnosis of benign tumors of the heart is based on anamnesis, clinical features and findings of the tumor masses by use of non-invasive and invasive imaging methods. Extensive surgical resection of the myxoma is curative with minimal mortality. Long term clinical and echocardiographic follow-up is mandatory. Case report. We reported a case of a 62-year-old male, presented with 15 days of intermittent shortness of breath, dizziness and feeling of heart palpitations and subsequently diagnosed with right atrial myxoma based on transthoracic echocardiography . The patient was emergently operated in our hospital. Long-term followup did not reveal recurrence. Conclusion. Our case was an atypical localisation of right atrial myxoma. Whether the intracardiac mass is benign or malignant, early surgery is obligatory in order to prevent complications.

We report the case of a patient with a giant right atrial myxoma that remained clinically silent until it almost completely obliterated the right atrium, prolapsed into the right ventricle and obstructed the tricuspid valve inflow. This case illustrates the importance of rapid surgical intervention in the setting of acute heart failure caused by tumor masses obliterating heart valves or cardiac chambers.

Primary cardiac tumors are typically benign, with myxomas being most common. We present a 32-year-old female with a chief complaint of dyspnea and a constant non-radiating chest pressure along the left sternal border. She was found to have a pulmonary embolism that was ultimately caused by embolization of a right atrial myxoma with remnants of a large, highly mobile mass attached to the right inter-atrial septum prolapsing through the tricuspid valve. The patient underwent a median sternotomy, right atrial mass resection, pulmonary embolectomy, and inter-atrial septum reconstruction using the patient’s pericardium. The importance of finding the etiology of initial diagnoses is stressed with long-term outcomes for patients.

Highlight:A 32-year-old male patient suffered mediastinal non-hodgkin's lymphoma metastatic to the right atrium which mimicked right atrial myxoma.The patient died of suspected mediastinal NHL thromboembolism that spread in the right atrium. Abstract:In this case report, the anatomical pathology results in the form of B cell type LNH, but at the age of 32 years and the risk factor in this patient was a former active smoker. In the anatomical pathology results, the results of the B-High Grade Cell Type LNH were also obtained. B-cell type non-hodgkin’s lymphoma can be mutated in the MYC gene (v-myc avian myceloctomatosis viral oncogene homolog) and the BCL-2 and BCL-6 (B-cell lymphoma) genes. If this morphology is found, then the patient's prognosis is poor. Most of these patients were males and the incidence was in the mediastinal area. Mediastinal NHL could develop and enlarge to involve the heart and pericardium. The spread could occur directly and lymphogens. These metastatic tumors were often misdiagnosed with atrial myxoma. In this case report, exploration of the right atrium and open mediastinal biopsy was performed. An open biopsy of the mediastinum revealed a mediastinal mass that enlarged to enter the right atrium. Atrial myxoma was not found. Primary lymphoma growth could also occur in the heart. This condition was called primary cardiac lymphoid (PCL). This case was very rare and was often considered an atrial myxoma. The patient died 10 days after discharge from the hospital. While the patient was eating, the patient had a seizure and the patient was immediately taken to the emergency department of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, and entered the ER (Resuscitation) ER room, but the patient died after being assisted for approximately two hours. Most likely the cause of the patient's death was a thromboembolic tumor in the right atrium that was released, so that it entered the bloodstream of the brain, causing the patient to have seizures. It was suspected that the cause of the patient's death was the presence of a tumor thrombus that separated into an embolism from the right atrium due to the large size of the tumor. Patients suffering from high rate NHL had a greater percentage of suffering from tumor thromboembolism as many as 10.6% compared to the Low type and Hodgkins lymphoma (LH) (5.8% and 7.25%).

Uncommon Location

Primary intracardiac tumors are rare and approximately 50-55% are myxomas. The majority of myxomas are located in the left atrium. Here We report a case of a large myxoma in the right atrium, which is an uncommon location for this type of tumor who underwent operative intervention with excision of a 9x6 cm multilobulated mass. In this case report, we emphasize the rarity of large myxomas in the right atrium and the difficulty of differential diagnosis given their dimension and location.

Variable Clinical Presentation

Primary intracardiac tumors are rare and approximately 50% are myxomas. Majority of myxomas are located in left atrium. Most of myxomas are attached to inter-atrial septum and have variable clinical presentation depending on size, location and mobility of the tumor. We report a case of large myxoma in the right atrium with atypical clinical presentation and location for this type of tumor.
