Abstract
- Intracardiac varix is an endocardial, unilocular, blood-filled cyst that's lined by endothelial cells and it is filled with organizing thrombi. It has been reported that intracardiac varix is an extremely rare entity. We report here on two cases of intracardiac varix in the right atrium and these cases had been preoperatively misdiagnosed as myxoma.
