title: Surgical treatment of an interatrial septal paraganglioma.
abstract: A 39-year-old man presented with chest pain. Chest radiography and echocardiography indicated a possible cardiac tumor. Echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor in the interatrial septum. The patient underwent tumor resection under cardiopulmonary bypass. A paraganglioma was diagnosed on the basis of histopathological findings.
