Abstract

Contrast echocardiography employing intracoronary injection of Albunex was performed in a patient with right atrial myxoma. An echolucent area within the tumor mass was observed on 2-dimensional echocardiography and Albunex injection caused an appreciable opacification of this echolucent area suggesting the presence of a vascular-like structure. This finding was subsequently confirmed by coronary arteriography and from a pathologic specimen.
