Introduction
We report a 30-year-old male who presented with signs and symptoms of right heart failure who was later diagnosed with right-sided atrial myxoma. This patient, unfortunately, died while waiting for cardiac surgery outside Malawi and
postmortem was not done to ascertain the cause of death.
