A Unique Case of a Right Atrial Myxoma Infected With Escherichia coli.

A 70-year-old white male, with past medical history of coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease status-post bilateral femoral artery stents, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, arthritis, tobacco use, and alcohol use, presented with shortness of breath and an abnormal finding on a recent transesophageal echo. This had revealed a large, fixed mass in the right atrium. Our differential diagnosis had included thrombus, endocarditis, myxoma, papillary fibroelastoma, sarcoma, and metastatic tumor.
