The distinction between the different types of intracardiac masses, including thrombi, vegetation and tumors, is an important step in providing therapeutic and prognostic information to the patient. Transthoracic 2D echocardiogram is the primary diagnostic tool used widely to detect and evaluate intracardiac mass and the c...

Ball-thrombus of the right atrium.

A -study of reported cases reveals that while the occurrence of ball-thrombus of the left atrium is unusual a ball-thrombus of the right atrium is very rare indeed. The first case report is that of McLeod, in 1883, and sixty-one years elapse before the next-that of Wright, Flynn, and Druet, in 1944.

Patients with ACC usually present with abnormal hormone secretion, tumor growth or encroachment on the surrounding viscera. An early diagnosis of ACC is considered challenging. The present study reports a case of ACC with tumor thrombus extension into the inferior vena cava and right atrium. ...

HCC with tumor thrombus entering the right atrium and inferior vena cava treated by percutaneous ablation

BACKGROUND In the advanced stages of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a tumor thrombus (TT) can form in the portal or hepatic vein. The management of patients with advanced HCC and a TT extending into the right atrium (RA) and inferior vena cava (IVC) is extremely difficult and risky. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a patient with HCC and a large TT (85 × 45 mm) extending into the RA t...
