A 34-year-old woman with lupus anticoagulant and cardiolipin antibodies was found to have a calcified right ventricular thrombus overlying an anomalous right ventricular muscle bundle.
This case report describes a rare presentation of a calcified right ventricular thrombus associated with an anomalous right ventricular muscle bundle and antiphospholipid syndrome.
A 34 year old woman with a history of five spontaneous abortions and a systemic lupus-like illness underwent cardiotomy for resection of a calcified right ventricular thrombus. At operation an anomalous right ventricular muscle bundle was discovered under the calcified thrombus. Clinical chemistry showed lupus anticoagulant activity and cardiolipin antibodies in the plasma.
