ABSTRACT
A 47-year-old woman presented with dyspnoea on exertion for several weeks. Echocardiogram and multidetector computed tomography of the heart showed a right atrial mass typical of an atrial myxoma. This was confirmed on histology. The imaging features of atrial myxoma and other conditions presenting as a right-sided cardiac mass are discussed.
