Whole body positron-emitting tomography computed tomography (PET-CT) (Fig. 1) revealed right ventricular mass possibly malignancy or tumor thrombus with enlarged lymph node in left inguinal area and retroperitoneum without other distant metastasis.
Transthoracic echocardiography taken on August 12, 2008. The mass arising from right ventricle was observed with the abnormal septal bouncing motion probably due to right ventricular pressure overload by mass effect. Heterogenous mass size of 2.52x2.54x3.25 cm observed.

For further evaluation of tachycardia and dyspnea occurred a week before visiting the hospital, transthoracic echocardiography (Fig. 2) and pro B-type natriuretic peptide measurement were performed.
