Perivalvular myocardial abscess is a well-known complication of valvular infective endocarditis (IE) (1). Here, we presentan absolutely rare case of right atrial (RA) wall abscess accompanying tricuspid valve (TV) IE which was only revealed bytransesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The patient was anend-stage renal disease (ESRD) case who was receiving hemodialysis (HD) via a dual-lumen cuffed venous catheter. Theunique feature of this case is the anatomical location of theabscess in the RA wall as well as multiple septic vegetationsdistant from the TV.
