title: Concurrent right atrial myxoma and malignant lymphoma.
abstract: Atrial myxomas are the most common primary tumor of the heart. We report an unusual case where an incidentally found right atrial myxoma was associated with a malignant lymphoma. Surgical management of the concurrent problems is discussed as well as a review of pertinent literature and efficacy of diagnostic modalities.
