  • Title: The role of myocardial contrast echocardiography to assess the origin of a mass in right cardiac cavities.
    Author: Rallidis LS, Papadopoulos CC, Kelekis NL, Kremastinos DT.
    Journal: Echocardiography; 2009 Jan; 26(1):88-92. PubMed ID: 19125811.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma who was admitted to our hospital with fatigue and edema of lower extremities. Transthoracic echocardiographic examination revealed a mobile echogenic cavoatrial mass that infiltrated the inferior vena cava and extended along the vessel protruding into the right cardiac cavities. The differential diagnosis included a tumor mass originating from the liver and subsequently infiltrating the inferior vena cava and extending into the right cardiac cavities or a large thrombus formed on the tumor mass that infiltrated the inferior vena cava.
