Abstract

Ectopic liver tissue is commonly observed in the abdominal cavity in adjacent organs. Extension of hepatic tissue into the
intrathoracic cavity is rarely reported. We present the case of a 46-year-old woman with a 2 1×1 8 cm mass confirmed by
transesophageal echocardiogram to be at the right atrial and inferior vena cava junction that was initially thought to be a
myxoma which prompted surgical excision but subsequently identified as ectopic liver by histology
