abstract: Right atrial myxoma is less commonly found. Ascites is a rarer clinical presentation of such myxoma. Sometimes, practicing doctors are unable to detect causes of transudative ascites. In such situation, a high index of suspicion is needed to arrive at the correct diagnosis of right atrial myxoma giving rise to ascites.
