Giant right ventricular mural vegetation mimicking a cardiac tumour.
Mural vegetations in the course of infective endocarditis are very rare. We report the case of a patient with an extremely large right ventricular free wall vegetation. Establishing diagnosis in the presence of only mural vegetations on echocardiography scan without valve involvement in the inflammatory process was difficult. In a differential diagnosis, benign and malignant tumours, metastases...
متن کاملApical mural thrombus: technical pitfalls.
A left ventricular thrombus can occur in a variety of clinical settings and, when small, may be difficult to document. Understanding the clinical scenarios of when these thrombi form and how to optimise echocardiographic scanning techniques will increase the sensitivity and specificity of the examination (tables 1 and 2).

In the present study, all characteristics of reported patients, including sex, age, clinical presentations, laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, imaging findings, pathology, location, therapy...
متن کاملPrimary cardiac sarcoma.
Primary malignant lesions of the heart are rare. Although myxomas have been extensively described, there is a paucity of large studies on non-myxomatous cardiac tumours. On the other hand, there are several case reports on specific histopathological variants, in small numbers. Consequently there exists no consensus on therapeutic modalities for cardiac sarcomas. The prognosis for these lesions ...
