A mobile mass on the tricuspid valve in a young female: The critical distinction between the vegetation and cardiac tumor

We report the case of a 34-year-old woman who experienced progressive dyspnea and fatigue. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a pediculated, homogenous echo-dense, and highly mobile mass attached to the tricuspid valve. The patient was diagnosed with cardiac PFE because of its size and mobility, and surgical resection was scheduled.
