Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
An echocardiographic examination performed on a 72-year-old man for assessment of left ventricular hypertrophy revealed a right atrial mass, approximately 4 cm in size, attached to the interatrial septum. Given his history of leiomyosarcoma with vascular invasion, the patient was referred for PET/CT to assess the possibility of metastatic involvement. The results suggested an aneurysmal mass of the aortic noncoronary cusp consistent with a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. A subsequent CT angiogram and surgery confirmed the diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm detected in PET/CT images. |
