An unusual right atrial mass in a two-month old infant.
We report a 2-month old female with a rare cardiac mass. She was evaluated echocardiographically after physical examination revealed a low grade cardiac murmur. The mass, located in right atrium, was shown to be the consequence of candida endocarditis by means of pathological study and blood culture.
