AbstractWe present an unusual, biopsy-proven case of endomyocardial fibrosis in a 22-month-old male child, which progressed rapidly resulting in death. The patient was born to a father originating from Mozambique, where the disease is endemic but who had not himself travelled there, suggesting a genetic link. Other remarkable features were the presence of a right ventricular diverticulum, and a positive Mycoplasma pneumoniae immunoglobulin M enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test.

ABSTRACT CONTEXT: Obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract due to metastatic disease is rare. Clinical recognition of cardiac metastatic tumors is rare and continues to present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a patient who had severe respiratory insufficiency and whose clinical examinations revealed a giant tumor mass extending from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic options. CONCLUSION: In patients presenting with acute right heart failure, right ventricular masses should be kept in mind. Transthoracic echocardiography appears to be the most easily available, noninvasive, cost-effective and useful technique in making the differential diagnosis.
