Embolus in transit.

Abstract:

:A patient who presented with recurrent syncopal episodes was discovered to have a right-sided heart mass, which was revealed as an embolus in transit resulting in a lethal pulmonary embolic event. The initial focus of etiology on tumor rather than thrombus was misleading. A higher index of suspicion of thrombus in right heart mass may help future patients receive more directed therapy.
