case_images: Pulmonary CTA indicated embolism in both lower pulmonary artery branches, a new embolus in the right lower pulmonary artery branch, and exudative changes in the lower lobes of both lungs (Figure 1a and b). Two weeks post-treatment, pulmonary artery CTA indicated the disappearance of emboli in the right lower pulmonary branch and a reduction in the size of emboli in the left lower pulmonary branch (Figure 1c and d).
case_images: (a) Ultrasound imaging of the right atrial mass. (b) Postoperative pathology of the atrial mass. (c) Skin biopsy: epidermal ulceration with lipofuscinosis.

case_images: Two months earlier, an esophageal echocardiogram had indicated a hyperechoic right atrium with a widened coronary sinus (Figure 2a). Intraoperative cryopathologic analysis indicated inflammatory exudation with necrotic tissue and infiltration of inflammatory cells (Figure 2b). On the 7th day of hospitalization, the patient underwent a skin biopsy, which revealed epidermal ulceration with lipofuscinosis (Figure 2c).
