Interatrial bronchogenic cysts are rare entities, and the long-term clinical sequelae are unknown. This case report details the removal of a large (>4 cm) interatrial bronchogenic cyst that had been present for more than 10 years. Surgical resection remains the current standard of therapy when encountering an interatrial mass.

Intracardiac bronchogenic cysts (IBCs) are very rare. To date, only a few cases of IBC have been reported in the literature. We report a case of a bronchogenic cyst that arose from the interatrial septum in a 42-year-old man who presented with symptoms of palpitation.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiac myxomas are the most common benign tumors of the heart, typically appearing as oval masses on the interatrial septum and can cause embolic episodes that require urgent treatment.
- In a case study, a middle-aged woman experienced an acute ischemic stroke and was found to have a complex cystic mass in her left atrium, which was initially difficult to diagnose due to overlapping imaging characteristics with other conditions.
- Surgical removal of the cystic mass was performed to confirm it as a cardiac myxoma and to prevent serious complications like stroke and hemodynamic issues, marking it as a rare case of this tumor variant.

The authors report a case of pathologically proven intracardiac bronchogenic cyst embedded within the interatrial septum of a 30-year-old woman presenting with chest pain and first-degree AV block. Multimodality imaging played an essential role in the discovery, investigation, and diagnosis of this extremely rare entity.

Article Synopsis
- Intracardiac bronchogenic cysts are very rare congenital anomalies that form during the early development of the heart and foregut.
- A 66-year-old woman with chest pain was diagnosed with an interatrial septal bronchogenic cyst after detailed imaging studies, including CT scans and echocardiograms.
- The cyst was found to be stable, and no surgical treatment was needed, emphasizing the importance of considering bronchogenic cysts in diagnosing intracardiac tumors.

A 31-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with atypical retrosternal chest pain and dyspnoea. Investigations initially revealed atrial flutter on her electrocardiogram and an interatrial septal mass on CT angiography of the chest. Additional workup with cardiac MRI and transoesophageal echocardiogram were able to delineate the cardiac mass.
