Abstract.

We describe a patient with double-outlet right ventricle in whom a large right atrial myxoma developed over approximately 6 months. This patient represents the first case described of a right atrial myxoma occurring in an unoperated patient with congenital heart disease other than an isolated atrial septal defect. Because the child was followed with serial echocardiograms, we can document the rapid growth of the tumor.
