“…Constitutional symptoms of atrial myxoma include pyrexia, malaise, loss of appetite, arthralgia, weight loss. The release of cytokine IL-6, which plays a major role in the proliferation of myxoma cells and the release of acute-phase reactants, is highly associated with the systematic manifestations [8] [9] [10] .…”

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.

Background: Cardiac myxoma is the most common primary cancer of the heart in adults. It is characterised by non-specific clinical symptoms and radiological findings. The aim of this study is to present the case of a 3.5-year-old boy diagnosed with right atrial myxoma briefly after the onset of inflammatory bowel disease treatment. Case report: The patient was hospitalised because of chronic diarrhoea, dyselectrolytaemia, and severe cachexia. Following multiple examinations, a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease was made. Additionally, due to upper limb oedema, a cardiac consultation and echocardiography were conducted, revealing a solid mass in the right atrium. Consequently, a cardiac surgical intervention was carried out due to the patient’s condition. Conclusions: Right atrial myxomas are extremely rare in paediatric patients, and the coexistence of inflammatory bowel disease and cardiac myxoma has not been previously reported in the literature. Further research is needed to establish the potential correlation between these two diseases.
