Abstract

Blood cysts of the heart, benign cardiovascular tumors, are extremely rare in adults. Our literature search found fewer than 20 such cases that have been reported in the past 30 years, all of which involved either the cardiac valves or the left ventricle. This case report describes a 72-year-old man with a right atrial tumor that was found to be a simple blood cyst.
