Deborah Heart and Lung Center, Browns Mills, New Jersey The authors report a successful resection of a rare cystic tumor in the right atrium, discovered in an asymptomatic patient with atrial fibrillation. The cystic nature of the tumor was characterized by two-dimensional echocardiogram preoperatively. The site of attachment and movement of the tumor were clearly shown by cine computed tomography preoperatively. The tumor contained numerous endothelium-lined cavernous channels and groups of red blood cells. These features are distinctly different from those of other cystic tumors.
