We report on a 55-year-old man with effort dyspnoea that transesophageal echocardiography disclosed was due to a mass originating from the chorda of the tricuspid valve. Histological examination revealed the mass to be an organized thrombus without tumour components. This case illustrates the unusual presentation of a thrombus confined to the tricuspid chordae mimicking a chordae tumour.

This case report describes a rare instance of massive right ventricular myxoma (RVM). A 36-year-old woman initially presented with progressive breathlessness and chest heaviness. Imaging revealed a large mass in the mediastinum, which was initially thought to be a pericardial cyst, and it was unclear whether the mass was intracardiac or extracardiac.

A 27-year-old man diagnosed with right ventricular metastasis of Ewing sarcoma was referred to our institution. We surgically resected the metastatic tumor to prevent sudden death and reconstructed the right ventricle and tricuspid valve. He has survived for 1 year postoperatively without recurrence.

Purpose: Many approaches have been used to model chordae tendineae geometries in finite element simulations of atrioventricular heart valves. Unfortunately, current "functional" chordae tendineae geometries lack fidelity (e.g.
