Organized thrombus of the tricuspid valve mimicking valvular tumor

H Konishi et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2001 Jun.

Abstract

We report on a case of organized thrombus of the tricuspid valve mimicking a valve tumor. Preoperative transesophageal echocardiography showed the mass to have originated from the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve. A pouch of the tricuspid valve and a ventricular septal defect were observed perioperatively, with the mass attached to the septal leaflet. Histologic examination revealed the mass to be an organized thrombus without tumor components.
