Abstract
AbstractCardiac masses are rare entities that can be challenging in clinical diagnosis and management. Cardiac masses can be detected incidentally in patients with an asymptomatic course or may cause systemic inflammation findings due to inflammatory cytokine release or symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, syncope, sudden cardiac death, and mortality due to the location of the mass. Cardiac masses associated with systemic inflammatory disorders are uncommon in this disease group. This case report will present a case with an asymptomatic IgG4‐related left atrial mass detected in routine echocardiographic control imaging due to rheumatic valve disease.
