Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 42-year-old man with leg edema, dyspnea, and ascites who was diagnosed to have large triangular mass in his right atrium after undergoing electrocardiography (ECG) and chest X-ray. It states that the location, vascularity, and shape of the tumor was determined through computed tomography (CT). It adds that by continuously executing infusion of contrast, the tumor exhibited a stable contrast hyper-enhancement.
