Abstract

Inflammatory granuloma is a rare non neoplastic benign disease that rarely reported in the heart tissue, and surgical resection is the final treatment with satisfactory results. Hereinafter, we report a case of inflammatory granuloma in the right ventricle of a 25-year-old man who underwent multimodality imaging and successful resection of the mass. Results of the case suggested that when evaluating patients with cardiac mass in unusual locations, it was necessary to comprehensively consider multiple imaging features and combine laboratory examination to make clinical suspicion.

Keywords: echocardiography; inflammatory granuloma; right ventricular.
