Özet

A 3-year-old female patient presented with symptoms of cyanosis and intermittent eyelid edema, leading to the discovery of a lobulated mass in the right atrium, obstructing the superior vena cava. Despite the inability to entirely remove the mass due to its origins in the right atrium myocardium and its extension towards the sinoatrial node, successful surgical intervention and subsequent histopathological evaluation identified the mass as a fibroma, and postoperative symptoms were significantly alleviated.
