The most superior portion of the right atrium is not well visualized by transthoracic echocardiography. This limits the ability of the technique to detect intracardiac disease in this area. We describe a 41-year-old man with a history of liposarcoma in whom transthoracic echocardiography was unable to elucidate a right atrial metastasis. Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated the morphology and extent of the large right atrial mass. These findings were well correlated with both magnetic resonance imaging and surgery.
经胸超声心动图不能很好地显示右心房的最上部。这限制了该技术检测该区域心脏内疾病的能力。我们描述了一名41岁有脂肪肉瘤病史的男性，经胸超声心动图未能明确右心房转移情况。经食管超声心动图显示了右心房巨大肿块的形态和范围。这些发现与磁共振成像和手术结果高度相关。
