We present the case of an adult male who arrived to our emergency room with progressive dyspnea that had been ongoing for 2 months. During the radiological investigation, we found a large intracardiac mass, which invaded the pericardium, pulmonary trunk, pulmonary arteries, and left ventricle. Studies done with the 18FDG-PET/CT scan helped us to determine the malignant nature of the mass and to suspect the diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
