Multiple intra‐cardiac masses: A life‐threatening complication of Behçet's disease. Issue 7 (17th June 2020) - Ramoğlu, Mehmet Gökhan
Abstract: The incidence of multiple intra‐cardiac masses is rare, and the differential diagnosis may be challenging sometimes. The most common etiologies of multiple intra‐cardiac masses are thrombus, vegetation, and tumors. Intra‐cardiac thrombus is more common in patients with central catheters, with a wall‐motion abnormality and global hypokinesis. Certain autoimmune disorders may favor the development of intra‐cardiac thrombus, and very rarely, multiple thrombi may be seen. Here, a patient with multiple intra‐cardiac masses in the right ventricle and diagnosed with Behçet's disease is presented.
