Abstract
Images are presented of a 14-year-old patient with chest pain discovered to have a calcified mass overlying the cardiac silhouette on lateral chest radiograph. Further imaging led to a diagnosis of a right atrial myxoma, which was surgically excised. While cardiac neoplasms are typically diagnosed with advanced imaging, the tendency for myxomas to calcify may allow for detection on plain radiographs.Entities:
