Descrição

This large atrial mass was removed from a 33-yearold patient admitted to the emergency department for severe venous congestion. Its hard texture, grayish discolouration and wall infiltration prompted radical excision and partial atrial reconstruction. Histopathology was compatible with a thrombus, discarding malignancy.
