Diagnostic Perplexity: Right Atrial Mass
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
The differential diagnoses of intracardiac masses include vegetation, thrombus or tumors. Presenting clinical features along with its characteristics; size, shape, location, mobility and attachment of the mass, help differentiate etiology. Echocardiography is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of intracardiac masses and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has further improved its diagnostic accuracy.
