Cardiac myxoma is unusual and mostly located in left atrium. Although it is a benign tumor of the heart, it may cause life-threatening cardiac problems like valvular obstruction, systemic or pulmonary massive embolism, infection, arrhythmia, malignance. We report a huge cardiac myxoma originated from right atrium. It was moving between right atrium and ventricle without any symptoms.

The bicentenary of Josef Skoda's birth (December 10(th) 2005) was seen as an excellent opportunity to review his accomplishments for internal medicine. He extended the physical examination, namely percussion and auscultation, and established the scientific basis for these techniques. While Skoda's predecessors interpreted sounds and murmurs by natural philosophy and phenomenologically, Skoda established diagnoses based on empirical and experimental investigations. He compared diagnostic findings with post mortem results at Rokitansky's morgue. Thus, Skoda's work led to the modern capabilities of the physical examination.
