| Abstract: | A 67-yeary-old middle-aged woman admitted to the hospital with chief complaints of intermittent palpitation, fatigue for more than 3 months, and bilateral lower extremity edema about 2 months. A solid mass was discovered in the right atrium by echocardiographic examination, and computerized tomography (CT) guided needle biopsy of the mass was performed and revealed a neurogenic tumor, which was a paraganglioma. She underwent surgical excision of the tumor and had uneventful recovery at a month post-operation. |
