AI Article Synopsis
- Primary cardiac tumors are uncommon and can be mistaken for other diseases because of similar symptoms or imaging findings.
- A case is highlighted involving a 56-year-old man who had a mass in the right ventricle discovered incidentally, necessitating further testing to evaluate for potential benign tumors.
- Asymptomatic patients with other health issues may be treated without surgery, indicating a need for more research to establish management guidelines for these tumors.
Article Abstract
Primary cardiac tumors are very rare and are often confused with other conditions due to clinical presentations or initial imaging. Here, we present a rare case of a 56-year-old male with right ventricular mass incidentally found on imaging. Appropriate testing should be conducted to rule out the possibility of a benign tumor. Asymptomatic patients with co-morbidities can be managed without surgery. More research is needed to devise guidelines for the management of these cases.
