AbstractThe authors describe the case of a 61-year-old woman affected with pulmonary embolism, in whom the presence of masses in both atria has been detected by two-dimensional echocardiography. The event of a systemic embolism and the dissolution of both masses after an anticoagulant therapy, has induced the authors to diagnose a biatrial thromboembolism propagating from the venous system and passage of thromboembolic material through a patent foramen ovale. These findings are, therefore, in differential diagnosis compared with other biatrial intracavitary masses.
