Abstract
A 35-year-old man presented to the emergency department with reports of chest pain, progressive shortness of breath, and pedal edema. He had a history of multiple hospital admissions without improvement. Multimodality imaging revealed a suspected giant right atrial myxoma. The patient underwent successful excision of the mass, and his symptoms improved postoperatively. Histopathologic examination of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of atrial myxoma.
