Abstract

We report a case of a large right atrial myxoma. With the use of transoesophagal echocardiography, several cysts were idntifield within the tumour and necrotic tissue was differentiated from myxomatous tissue according to its echo-level. Transoesophageal echocardiography was very useful for the precise diagnosis of cardiac tumour and demonstration of the inner structure.

Key Words: Transoesophageal echocardiography • right atrial myxoma • inner structure
