Abstract
Inferior Vena Cava Tumour Thrombus (IVC-TT) is a common complication of abdominal malignancies such as renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma and adrenocortical carcinoma. Extension of IVC thrombus into Right Atrium (RA) presenting as RA mass is a rare manifestation of hepatocellular carcinoma. Here we present a case of hepatocellular carcinoma, which was diagnosed to have right atrial mass due to IVC tumour thrombus extending to RA detected in echocardiography.
