AI Article Synopsis
- - A right atrial mass was found during a routine echocardiogram, resembling a myxoma but later indicated potential malignancy.
- - Further imaging, including cardiac MRI and CT scans, showed the mass infiltrating the pericardium, along with liver masses identified as metastatic amelanotic melanoma.
- - The patient underwent immunotherapy, which resulted in satisfactory remission of the condition.
Article Abstract
We present a case of detection of a right atrial mass during surveillance echocardiography, mimicking myxoma. Cardiac magnetic resonance and computed tomography revealed infiltration into the pericardium, suggesting malignancy. Abdominal computed tomography showed multiple liver masses that were histologically positive for metastatic amelanotic melanoma. Under immunotherapy adequate remission was achieved.
