Abstract

24-year-old male patient, who had no complaints before, applied to our hospital for general tests to get a medical report due to his job application. A murmur was detected by the physician in the internal medicine clinic as a finding of listening and was referred to the cardiology clinic. The oval, well-circumscribed lobulated echogenic mass appeared in right ventricular in the research performed in the cardiology clinic and it was transferred to our clinic for emergency surgery. The right ventricular mass did not move towards either the pulmonary valve or the tricuspid valve during systole and diastole. During the operation, it was determined that the tumor originated from the right ventricular free wall. Right ventricular mass excision was performed with right atriotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass.
