RESUMO
A 40 year old male patient diagnosed as having pulmonary thromboembolism, was found to have a right atrial mass, after being subjected to an echocardiogram, a CT thoracic Scan and magnetic resonance imaging. An intracardiac exploration by cardiopul-monary bypass was performed. The mass was located and excised, but in fact found to be an extracardiac, inflammatory and cavitated mass. The wall of the right atrium was infiltrated due to the inflammatory process. This case illustrates the advantage of echocardiography, followed by surgery, in the clinical diagnosis and also shows how to treat cardiac masses and tumors.
