    <p>A 75-year-old man underwent elective biological aortic valve replacement. Two weeks after surgery, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showed a small pericardial effusion. On the following day, the patient suffered from syncope. A repeated TTE revealed a "giant" echo-dense mass (90x80 mm) occupying the entire right atrium and severely limiting tricuspid valve inflow. Although the initial differential diagnosis included the development of an intracavitary process, the rapidly-growing mass with a characteristic echo&#8209;lucent layer at its atrial aspect (consistent with the atrial wall and visceral pericardium) (arrows) led to the final diagnosis of a pericardial hematoma mimicking a huge atrial mass. Emergency surgical exploration confirmed the diagnosis.</p>

      <p>Um homem de 75 anos de idade foi submetido &#224; substitui&#231;&#227;o eletiva de v&#225;lvula a&#243;rtica biol&#243;gica. Duas semanas ap&#243;s a cirurgia, a ecocardiografia transtor&#225;cica (ETT) mostrou um pequeno derrame peric&#225;rdico. No dia seguinte, o paciente sofreu uma s&#237;ncope. A ETT repetida revelou uma massa eco&#8209;densa "gigante" (90x80 mm) ocupando todo o &#225;trio direito, gravemente limitando o fluxo da v&#225;lvula tric&#250;spide. Embora o diagn&#243;stico diferencial inicial tenha inclu&#237;do o desenvolvimento de um processo intracavit&#225;rio, o r&#225;pido crescimento da massa com uma camada ecoluscente caracter&#237;stica em seu aspecto atrial (consistente com a parede do &#225;trio e do peric&#225;rdio visceral) (setas), levou ao diagn&#243;stico final de hematoma peric&#225;rdico imitando uma enorme massa atrial. A explora&#231;&#227;o cir&#250;rgica de emerg&#234;ncia confirmou o diagn&#243;stico.</p>
