Abstract

Calcified right ventricular thrombi are very rare.One case of large clacified thrombus in right ventricle being seen in a 65-year old man, is presented. He had dyspnea and generalized edema.The chest film showed a large calcified mass in cardiac shadow especially in lateral view.On echocardiography and chest computed tomography, large calcified mass density occupied nearly entire right ventricular outflow tract.The mass removal was performed through right ventriculotomny.The mass was whitish, stony hard, measured 4 cm x 4.5 cm x 8 cm, tightly attached to right ventricular infundibular septum and ventriculoinfundibular fold.
