  An unusual case of left atrial “Mass” by Ashwin Singh Chouhan in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences  Abstract We present a case of a 19-year-old patient who was admitted to our hospital due to persistent fever and weight loss. Cardiovascular imaging revealed signs of constrictive pericarditis and also the presence of a left atrial mass. Interestingly, empiric anti-inflammatory treatment not only reversed the pericardial constriction, but also reduced the size of this mass, which likely represented inflammatory content in the oblique pericardial sinus. The sinuses of the pericardium should be included in the differential diagnosis of cardiac masses, especially in the simultaneous presence of pericardial diseases. Case presentation A 19-year-old patient of Pakistani ethnicity was transferred to the Internal Medicine department of our hospital from a peripheral hospital due to persistent fever and weight loss. He had been living in Greece for t...
