Excerpt
Intraluminal filling defects in the right ventricular outflow (RVOT) are often due to a thrombus or occasionally due to rare lesions like sarcoma arising from pulmonary arteries [
1]. Deposition disease is a very rare cause for a thrombus like intra-cardiac luminal defect. IgG4 deposition diseases occasionally present with focal deposition of immunoglobulin deposits at various organs, including the heart [
2]. MRI imaging features in the specific clinical contest may provide clue to this rare phenomenon. It is important to recognise this uncommon entity, in view of the widely differing management options. …
