dc.description.abstractMyxoma is a rare tumor in childhood and unlike left atrial localization is quite rare in right atrium. A 14-year-old male child presented with complains of exertional dyspnea and tachycardia. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a huge myxoma in the right atrium, closing the inferior vena cava orifice and causing tricuspid stenosis. Cardiopulmonary bypass was started only with superior vena cava cannulation. Inferior vena cava cannulation was performed after cardiac arrest due to the embolic risk. The total resection was performed by right atriotomy.
