Abstract

Treating heart masses demands a well-planned diagnostic strategy. As with any disease in medicine, the confirmation of a diagnosis leads to a tailored, more efficacious treatment. We present the case of a 72-year-old man presenting with a right atrial mass on echocardiography and diagnosis of plasmacytoma after transvenous endomyocardial biopsy.
