Abstract：
:Because of clinical symptoms and findings at physical, echocardiographic, and angiographic examination, a patient was suspected of having a tumor in the right ventricle. Results of surgical and pathological examination, however, revealed a thrombus obliterating the right ventricle. The purpose of this article is to delineate the features of a patient with right ventricular thrombus.
