Abstract
A 33-year-old man presented to the physician with epigastric discomfort. Computed tomography of the chest and echocardiography showed a mass in the left atrium; this mass was resected and diagnosed as myxoma. 12 months later, myxoma recurred in the right atrium, and it was resected without recurrence for 10 months until now. As there are only a few reports on recurred right atrial myxoma after left atrial myxoma, we report here on successful surgical removal of a recurred right atrial myxoma after resection of left atrial myxoma.
