Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary tumor of the liver accounting for 4.6% of all new human cancers.

We described two cases of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with large masses in the right atrium mimicking atrial myxoma. The RA masses were incidentally detected during two-dimensional echocardiographic examination.
