Ebstein’s anomaly is a rare congenital heart disease. It is usually associated with other congenital defects, particularly atrial septal defect/patent foramen ovale (PFO). We report here the case of Ebstein's disease revealed in a 23-year-old adult admitted for palpitations and exertional dyspnoea. He was in heart failure. The EKG showed atrial flutter . Cardiomegaly was present with a cardiothoracic index of 0.7. On echocardiography, the apical displacement of the tricuspid septal leaflet was 15 mm/m2 , the Celermajer index was Grade 3. There was a large thrombus floating in the right atrium. While awaiting surgical management, the patient was being treated with diuretics, digitalis and anticoagulants.

Accurate diagnosis of tumor thrombus and distinguishing benign thrombus from tumor thrombus avoid unnecessary anticoagulant treatment of oncological patients and it is important for patient management. In this case report, the role of FDG PET/CT in the presentation of a suspicious tumor thrombus in the left brachiocephalic vein of a patient with known laryngeal carcinoma and leiomyosarcoma diagnosis is presented.

Right atrial thrombi are a remarkable phenomenon especially when witnessed live on the monitor during echocardiographic study. They represent a clot en passant caught in the middle of travel to final destination in the pulmonary vasculature. In this paper we present two cases that show us the ambivalent nature of these clots, the challenges faced during their management and the possible outcome for the patient. The first case with fatal outcome is narrated in present tense because the outcome is fatal and the second is narrated in past tense because the patient survived and the clot became a past incidental encounter

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia is an exceptional, benign, inflammatory, vascular neoplasm delineating papillary configuration engendered from reactive proliferation of damaged endothelial cells, while being confined to a thrombus. Initially scripted by Pierre Mason in 1923, the tumefaction was denominated as an intra-luminal lesion within an ulcerated, haemorrhoidal vein and designated as “hemangio-endotheliome’ vegetant’ intravasculaire”(1). The neoplasm is additionally nomenclated as Masson’s tumour, Masson’s pseudo-angiosarcoma, endovascularite proliferante thrombopoietique, intravenous atypical vascular proliferation, intravascular angiomatosis, vascular angiomatosis, intravascular endothelial proliferation, reactive papillary endothelial hyperplasia or intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia. The papillary neoplasm is associated with deposition of fibrin and thrombotic substances within a painful, ulcerated.
