Abstract

Budd–Chiari syndrome caused by right atrial myxomas are extremely rare. We report the case of a patient who presented with chronic liver disease who upon consequent investigation was found to have a mass occupying the right atrium and ventricle consistent with cardiac tumour. Intraoperatively, a giant mass was removed from the right atrium with the tumour stalk originating from the Eustachian valve. Histologic findings were consistent with myxoma.
