Abstract EN

There is a paucity of information concerning cardiac tumours of the pulmonary valve due to their rarity at this location.

We report a case of a 47-year-old patient suffering from haemoptysis, asthenia, and acute kidney injury (AKI).

A transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed a mass on the pulmonary valve.

Further diagnostic investigation was completed until he exhibited worsening hemodynamic instability.

This case emphasizes the lack of information regarding the management of a pulmonary valve tumour.
