Özet
The incidence of multiple intra-cardiac masses is rare, and the differential diagnosis may be challenging sometimes. The most common etiologies of multiple intra-cardiac masses are thrombus, vegetation, and tumors. Intra-cardiac thrombus is more common in patients with central catheters, with a wall-motion abnormality and global hypokinesis. Certain autoimmune disorders may favor the development of intra-cardiac thrombus, and very rarely, multiple thrombi may be seen. Here, a patient with multiple intra-cardiac masses in the right ventricle and diagnosed with Behcet's disease is presented.
