Abstract:
A case is reported of right atrial myxoma presenting clinically as ascites and fever of unknown origin. An extensive work-up, including laboratory investigations, X-ray imaging, laparoscopy and laparotomy, failed to explain the clinical picture which was manifested post partum. Echocardiography was diagnostic and led to the curative treatment of surgical resection.
