case_images: A second helical CT-pulmonary angiography was performed, showing a consolidation in the right inferior lobe (Fig. 1) and suspicion of a thrombus in the right ventricle (Fig. 2). Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an elongated highly mobile structure attached to the right ventricular septum extending through the right ventricle outflow tract and into the pulmonary trunk (Fig. 3, panel a, Additional file 1).

case_images: Supplemental contrast-enhanced imaging revealed no contrast uptake in the structure, consistent with a large right ventricular thrombus (Fig. 3, panel b, Additional file 2).

The characteristic lack of contrast enhancement in the right intra-ventricular cavity confirms the presence of a giant right ventricular thrombus (Panel b)

case_images: Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an elongated highly mobile structure attached to the right ventricular septum extending through the right ventricle outflow tract and into the pulmonary trunk (Fig. 3, panel a, Additional file 1). Supplemental contrast-enhanced imaging revealed no contrast uptake in the structure, consistent with a large right ventricular thrombus (Fig. 3, panel b, Additional file 2). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed an approximately 7 cm long thrombus attached to the apical part of the right ventricular septum protruding through the pulmonary valve in systole, but retracting to just below the pulmonary valve in diastole (Fig. 4, Additional file 3).
