Abstract
A patient with a phaeochromocytoma arising from the interatrial septum is reported. A 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scan and magnetic resonance imaging were useful for tumour localization. Complete removal of the tumour in the right atrium was performed on cardiopulmonary bypass. The right atrial wall and the interatrial septum were reconstructed with two patches. This is the first successful operation for an intracardiac phaeochromocytoma arising from the interatrial septum.Entities:
