Abstract

A 28-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a giant right atrial diverticulum. The mass of the right atrial diverticulum compressed the right atrium and right ventricle, and thrombus formation was suspected. The diverticulum was surgically excised and the patient remained asymptomatic a year later.
