| Core Tip |
Cardiac masses are rare occurrences. In this case report, the diagnosis of a right atrial mass during cardioncological follow-up of a patient with secondary metastatic pancreatic cancer and a recent diagnosis of cancer-associated thrombosis was challenging. Severe thrombocytopenia and the rapid worsening of the patient’s condition hindered a complete clinical workup. However, echocardiographic differentiation between thrombi and tumors lead to the diagnosis of a new venous thromboembolism event. We also proposed a diagnostic flowchart to aid diagnostic decision making in the case of an incidental atrial mass. |
