    Biatrial myxoma can present with prolonged extracardiac symptoms like joint pain and anemia. Echocardiography is crucial for diagnosing this rare cardiac tumor when other tests are inconclusive.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Oncology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Cardiac myxomas, though rare, can present with diverse symptoms.
    • Extracardiac manifestations of cardiac myxoma can delay diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A 24-year-old patient experienced seven years of recurrent arthralgia, anemia, and inflammatory markers.
    • A subtle systolic heart sound prompted further investigation.

    Findings:

    • Echocardiography revealed a biatrial myxoma, a tumor affecting both atria.
    • The patient's prolonged symptoms were attributed to the cardiac tumor.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering cardiac tumors in patients with unexplained chronic symptoms.
