Abstract
We describe the case of a patient with massive pulmonary embolism, in which two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrated the presence of a free-floating mass in the right atrial cavity. The patient was urgently and successfully operated on. We describe the echocardiographic findings and emphasize the value of two dimensional echocardiography in detecting right-sided intracavitary thromboemboli, a condition in which immediate surgical treatment is mandatory.
