Imaging modalities are invaluable noninvasive tools in identifying and diagnosing intracardiac masses. However, it is not always easy to differentiate one from the other. Here, we report an unusual case of right atrial mass in a 54-year-old man presenting with atypical chest pain, in whom despite the multimodal approach, the histopathology study was the one that gave us the definitive diagnosis.
