چکیده
Transthoracic Echocardiography : The transthoracic study was done by using Philips HD 11 XE Machine with a multifrequency S4-2 transducer. The echocardiographic examination included use of various views parasternal long axis view, parasternal short axis view, apical four chamber view, apical two chamber view and sub costal view if necessary. Thrombus, vegetation and tumor were d i a g n o s e d b y f o l l o w i n g u n d e r l y i n g

Diaphragmatic hernia mimicking an atrial mass: a two-dimensional echocardiographic pitfall.
Two-dimensional echocardiography has become the diagnostic method of choice for identifying intracardiac masses. However, adjacent extracardiac structures may closely mimic intracardiac masses on the two-dimensional echocardiogram. Five cases of a previously unrecognized phenomenon in which a diaphragmatic hernia mimicked an intraatrial mass are reported. Techniques to identify a diaphragmatic ...
متن کاملBurkitt Lymphoma Presenting as an Intracardiac Mass: Case Report and Review of Literature
BACKGROUND Non-neoplastic causes such as infections and thrombi account for most intracardiac masses. Primary tumors such as myxomas and metastasis from breast cancer, lung cancer, or melanomas account for many of the remaining cases. Burkitt lymphoma manifesting as an intracardiac mass is a rare entity, with 21 cases reported in the English literature. CASE REPORT We report the case of a man i...
متن کاملDark blood cine for improved Visualization of Intracavitary Structures (iVIS)
Background In bright blood imaging, partial volume averaging of small moving intracavitary structures and surrounding bright blood often degrades the depiction of such morphology. Therefore, structures including papillary muscles, trabeculations, and intracardiac masses are better visualized with dark blood (DB) techniques. DB imaging also provides better image contrast for low signal structure...
متن کاملEndomyocardial biopsy guided by intracardiac echocardiography as a key step in intracardiac mass diagnosis
BACKGROUND Based on a plenty of different applications, intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is now a well-established technology in complex electrophysiological procedures. Recently, ICE has become the most widely used ultrasound-based imaging tool to guide diagnostic endomyocardial biopsy (EMB). EMB of cardiac mass guided by ICE is an interesting application of ICE. Allowing a correct position...
متن کاملIntracardiac Echocardiography to Guide Biopsy for Two Cases of Intracardiac Masses
Pathologic diagnosis of a cardiac mass is vital in determining the proper treatment modality. Open heart surgery or transesophageal echocardiography guided biopsy can be feasible methods to confirm the pathology. However, the former is highly invasive and both methods require general anesthesia. The introduction of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) can provide good anatomic information of hea...
متن کاملMultiple intracardiac masses: myxoma, thrombus or metastasis: a case report
INTRODUCTION The incidence of multiple intracardiac mass is rare. The differential diagnosis of intracavitary mass lesions includes benign, malignant primary, secondary metastatic cardiac tumors, or thrombus. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 49-year-old Asian woman, who experienced a 2-week history of progressive exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, bilateral lower limb edema and palpitati...
