As multiple imaging modalities cannot reliably diagnose cardiac tumors, the molecular approach offers alternative ways to detect rare ones. One such molecular approach is CRISPR-based diagnostics (CRISPR-Dx). CRISPR-Dx enables visual readout, portable diagnostics, and rapid and multiplex detection of nucleic acids such as microRNA (miRNA).

Even if rarely detected, right atrial (RA) masses represent a diagnostic challenge due to their heterogeneous presentation. Para-physiological RA structures, such as a prominent Eustachian valve, Chiari's network, and lipomatous atrial hypertrophy, may easily be misinterpreted as pathological RA masses, including thrombi, myxomas, and vegetations. Each pathological mass should always be correlated with adequate clinical, anamnestic, and laboratory data.

BACKGROUND Primary cardiac malignancies are extremely rare, with an incidence of 0.07% on autopsy series. Primary sarcomas represent up to 95% of malignant neoplasms, with myxofibrosarcomas accounting for only 10%.

A 70-year-old man presented to our hospital with chest discomfort and epigastric pain. Echocardiography revealed a giant atrial myxoma in the right atrium with severe tricuspid regurgitation. The aortic valve was calcified, and severe aortic stenosis was observed.
