Abstract
This case report describes an 81-year-old male with Child-Pugh B chronic liver disease presenting with dyspnea and atypical precordial pain. Evaluation revealed a third-degree atrioventricular block, necessitating temporary pacemaker placement. Portable cardiac ultrasound identified an intracavitary mass in the right atrium. A triphasic abdominal CT scan unveiled a solid lesion in hepatic segments VII and VIII, displaying arterial phase enhancement and late-phase washout. The neoplastic lesion, measuring 9.3 x 8.3 cm, exhibited lobulated, poorly defined borders, with extension into the right suprahepatic vein, inferior vena cava, and right atrium.
