Incidental finding of a right ventricular mass: Fibroma or thrombosis?

Radiol Case Rep. 2022 Aug 5;17(10):3754-3759. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2022.07.026. eCollection 2022 Oct.

Abstract

Primary cardiac tumors are very rare and are often confused with other conditions due to clinical presentations or initial imaging. Here, we present a rare case of a 56-year-old male with right ventricular mass incidentally found on imaging. Appropriate testing should be conducted to rule out the possibility of a benign tumor. Asymptomatic patients with co-morbidities can be managed without surgery. More research is needed to devise guidelines for the management of these cases.
