Sažetak
Detection of an intracardiac mass always represents a clinical challenge. We present a 61- year-old female patient with symptoms of New York Heart Association class III. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography revelaled a hyphoechogenic mass in the cavity of the dilated right ventricle (RV). Cardiac MRI described a pathologic structure of the RC free wall with pedunculated tumor in its cavity. Three months later, on a repeated echocardiography, there were three individual masses. The patients underwent surgery and the pathohistologic report demonstrated thrombotic mass. During the postoperative period, after reviewing all medical records, the conclusion was arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy.
