Resumo:An asymptomatic 55-year-old man with a previous history of hypertension and dyslipidaemia was referred to our clinic as a result of the finding of an enlarged cardiac silhouette in a routine chest radiography. His physical examination and electrocardiogram was unremarkable. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed two spherical masses located at both right and left atrioventricular sulcus. The right mass protruded into the right heart chambers (Panel A).
