초록
A 59-year-old man with multifocal cerebral infarction was found to have the large obstructive mitral valvular mass. Although benigntumor was under suspicion before surgery, he was finally diagnosed as chronic infective endocarditis by microscopic evaluation. The precise diagnosis and the proper management of a cardiac mass are very important since even the benign tumor maycause fatal complications. However, primary cardiac mass has the broad spectrum from pseudo-tumor to malignancy and the differentialdiagnosis using non-invasive methods is not easy even with the currently available imaging techniques.
