Abstract
A 51-year-old male was referred to our department for exploration of a hyperechogenic mass in the right atrium. The lesion was discovered on a trans-thoracic echocardiography examination performed during a routine checkup. The patient was asymptomatic and the ultrasound exploration revealed no other anomaly apart from the mass. He was explored by contrast-enhanced CMR and cardiac MDCT.
