Abstract

Atrial masses are rarely seen and sometimes large thrombus could be mixed with cardiac tumors. Intracardiac thrombus produces different symptoms according to the localization; when the thrombus is localized in the right atrium, it causes pulmonary embolism, and when it is localized in the left atrium, it causes peripheral arterial embolism, stroke, and even death. A 56-year-old female patient was operated on with an initial diagnosis of a cardiac tumor. However,the neoplastic growth was not detected in the histopathological examination of the mass and the removed tissue was fibroblastic connective tissue, which developed secondary to the thrombus. 

Özet

Atrial kitleler nadir görülmektedir ve bazen büyük trombüsler kardiyak tümörle karışabilir. İntrakardiyak trombüs bulunduğu yere göre değişik semptom verir; trombüs sağ atriumda olduğunda pulmoner emboliye neden olurken sol atriumda periferik arteryel emboli , strok'a ve ölüme bile neden olabilir. 56 yaşındaki bayan hasta, kardiyak tümör ön tanısı ile opere edildi. Ancak kitlenin histopatolojik incelemesinde neoplastik oluşum saptanmadı ve organize trombüse sekonder geliştiği belirlendi.
