Abstract

A right atrial thrombus in structurally normal heart is very rare. A 66-year-old woman was admitted with chest discomfort and dyspnea. She was diagnosed of right atrial myxoma on echocardiography and chest computed tomography, We peformed an excision of the mass attached to atrial septum, which was found to be an organized mural thrombus by pathologic examination. We report this rare case with a review of literature.

정상 심장에서의 우심방 혈전은 매우 드문 질환이다. 흉부 불편감과 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원한 66세 여자가 심장 초음파와 흉부 전산화 단층촬영에서 우심방 점액종으로 진단되었다. 종괴가 붙어 있는 심방 중격을 포함해 절제를 시행하였고 조직검사상 조직화된 우심방 혈전으로 진단되어 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
