Abstract

We present the case of a 9-year-old girl who was referred to our service with a recent history of shortness of breath on exertion and fatigue in addition to visual disturbances and gastrointestinal symptoms. A Transthoracic Echocardiography demonstrated the presence of 3 large intracardiac masses in both the right and left atrium protruding into the mitral and tricuspid valve orifices causing bilateral inflow obstruction. The patient underwent urgent surgical excision of the masses which was uncomplicated. Histological testing was consistent with a rare intracardiac location of Burkitt's Lymphoma.
