Right atrial myxoma originating from the inferior vena cava.
A patient undergoing successful excision of a right atrial myxoma arising from the inferior vena cava is reported. The rarity of this case prompted a review of the literature in which only 2 other patients with a right atrial myxoma originating from inferior vena cava tissue were found.
