Right atrial papillary elastoma: an uncommon location.
We present a patient with a right atrial mass, which was detected by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. The patient was asymptomatic on presentation. The mass was subsequently confirmed by gross and microscopic examination to be a papillary fibroelastoma. To the best of our knowledge this is only the fourth such report of this tumor in this location.
