A 54-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of respiratory distress. His
medical history included a melanoma on his back that underwent surgical excision one
year ago and was disease-free at routine follow-up by the Oncology Department. A pulmonary
angiography was performed by a non-gated chest computed tomography (CT) scan that
reported possible pulmonary embolism. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed normal
biventricular function (TAPSE 19 mm, S′ wave 11 cm/s), with mildly dilated right ventricle
(RV) and an image suggesting possible thrombus in the right atrium.
