Abstract
Cardiac myxomas are extremely rare in infancy. We report a case of right atrial myxoma in a 35-day-old male infant (with cyanosis and convulsions). Echocardiography was carried out and a diagnosis of right atrial myxoma was made. Open heart surgery was performed using cardiopulmonary bypass and a 2.5×3.0cm mass was removed. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. To our knowledge there is no previously reported case of right atrial myxoma in such a young infant which was operated on successfully.
