RESUMO
Budd-Chiari syndrome caused by right atrial myxomas are extremely rare. We report the case of a patient who presented with chronic liver disease who upon consequent investigation was found to have a mass occupying the right atrium and ventricle consistent with cardiac tumour. Intraoperatively, a giant mass was removed from the right atrium with the tumour stalk originating from the Eustachian valve. Histologic findings were consistent with myxoma.

Cardiac metastasis usually appears in patients with disseminated tumor disease. Involvement of heart in malignancy is generally underestimated and found to be in up to 25% of post mortem patients who had died of cancer. Cardiac involvement in metastases is usually uncommon; however, it may present with tachycardia, arrhythmia, cardiomegaly, heart failure, dyspnoea, hypotension, and pulsus paradoxus. Right side of heart is commonly known to be involved and the order of frequency of malignancies to metastasize to layers of the heart is pericardium, myocardium and endocardium.
