A large myxoma of the right atrium demonstrated by thallium-201

S Umezawa et al. Ann Nucl Med. 1989 Jul.

Abstract

A rare case of right atrial myxoma in which thallium-201 gave a good delineation of the tumor was presented. In this case, the feeding arteries were seen to be highly developed on coronary arteriogram. The amount of blood containing thallium-201 supplied to the tumor through the feeding arteries was so great that the tumor was considered to be visualized by thallium-201 imaging.
