a: Transesophageal echocardiogram midesophageal four chamber view showing a 2.3 × 1.9 × 0.5 cm tricuspid mass (arrow), during systole. Abbreviations: RA-right atrium, RV-right ventricle, LA-left atrium, LV-left ventricle, Tv-tricuspid valve. b: Transesophageal echocardiogram midesophageal four chamber view showing partial obstruction of right ventricular inflow during diastole (arrow). Abbreviations: RA-right atrium, RV-right ventricle, LA-left atrium, LV-left ventricle, Tv- tricuspid valve. c: CT chest with contrast showing contrast enhanced axial CT scan with minimal enhancement of the mass (arrow) at the level of the tricuspid valve. The radiologist reported the finding as a 2.1 cm oval fatty mass seen along the tricuspid valve. Cardiac tumors are usually low attenuating. Abbreviations: RA-right atrium, RV-right ventricle, LA-left atrium, LV-left ventricle, Ao-aorta, IVC-inferior vena cava, L-liver. d: CT chest with contrast showing contrast enhanced sagittal CT scan with minimal enhancement of the mass (arrow). Cardiac tumors are usually low attenuating. Abbreviations: RA-right atrium, RV-right ventricle, LA-left atrium, Asc Ao-ascending aorta, PA-pulmonary artery, DA-descending aorta. e: CT chest with contrast showing contrast enhanced coronal CT scan with minimal enhancement of the mass (arrow). Cardiac tumors are usually low attenuating. Abbreviations: RA-right atrium, RV-right ventricle, LA-left atrium, LV-left ventricle, PT-pulmonary trunk, AO-ascending aorta
