What Looks Like a Clot But Is Not a Clot?: Cardiac Leiomyosarcoma Mimicking Pulmonary Embolism

Primary cardiac tumors in the right ventricular outflow tract are often misdiagnosed as pulmonary embolism due to rarity and inadequate imaging characterization. Multimodality imaging offers advantages and facilitates subsequent diagnostics and management. We present a case of a woman with suspected...

description Primary cardiac tumors in the right ventricular outflow tract are often misdiagnosed as pulmonary embolism due to rarity and inadequate imaging characterization. Multimodality imaging offers advantages and facilitates subsequent diagnostics and management. We present a case of a woman with suspected submassive pulmonary embolism who was found to have pleomorphic leiomyosarcoma. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
