While most of the cardiac masses are benign, malignant masses are mostly metastatic tumours.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>An 81-year-old man was admitted to the cardiology department for congestive heart failure with the complaint of recent dyspnoea. The initial electrocardiogram was suggestive of a late presentation of an anterior myocardial infarction. Blood test showed mild and stable elevation of troponin and brain natriuretic peptide. Doppler-echocardiography revealed an interventricular septal thickening. Contrast echocardiography revealed a mass with a possibly necrotic centre and peripheral hypervascularization. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) confirmed the existence of a cardiac tumour with a hypodense centre and also revealed the presence of a large tumour of the lung\u2019s left lower lobe with multiple enlarged lymph nodes associated with possible left adrenal gland metastasis. Computed tomography-guided percutaneous biopsy of the pulmonary mass demonstrated a squamous cell lung cancer which was likely the primary cancer. The patient was discharged home waiting for chemotherapy to start but died a few days later at home of an unknown cause.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Diagnosis of intracardiac mass is difficult, often requiring multiple imaging modalities. Contrast-enhanced echocardiography may help early diagnosis and can be easily implemented with other imaging modalities such as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging or CT.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ehjcr\/ytab164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,13]],"date-time":"2021-05-13T02:48:22Z","timestamp":1620874102000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Interventricular septum mass presenting as a late acute coronary syndrome with ST-segment elevation: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Lucas","family":"Coroyer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Department, Hopital Saint-Joseph, 185 Rue Raymond Losserand, 75014 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philippe","family":"Garcon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Department, Hopital Saint-Joseph, 185 Rue Raymond Losserand, 75014 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Veronique","family":"Duchatelle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology Department, Hopital Saint-Joseph, 185 Rue Raymond Losserand, 75014 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arshid","family":"Azarine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology Department, Hopital Saint-Joseph, 185 Rue Raymond Losserand, 75014 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021070816561075800_ytab164-B1","first-page":"1027","article-title":"Tumors of the heart.
