Right atrial myxoma can simulate nonspecific constitutional symptoms, such as remittent or lasting fever, weight loss, and chronic anemia, and may escape timely diagnosis until the development of severe complications such as pulmonary hypertension due to embolism from fragments originating from the tumor mass or blockage of the right atrioventricular ostium or Budd-Chiari syndrome with acute abdominal pain.

e., remittent or lasting fever; weight loss; chronic anemia and general arthralgia-and may escape timely diagnosis until severe complications develop: i. e., pulmonary hypertension due to embolism from fragments originating from the tumor mass, or, by blocking the right atrioventricular ostium, a Budd-Chiari syndrome with acute abdominal pain.
