We came across two different cases of RA masses which happened to be myxoma and hydatid cysts, and we managed accordingly. The right atrial myxomas typically present with nonspecific shortness of breath unless they cause valve obstruction. In cases where clinical findings suggest infection in the right atrial masses, it is essential to consider hydatid cyst as a potential diagnosis alongside the initial consideration of vegetation.
