Abstract
Diagnosis of Behçet's disease might be considered if a patient presents with a mass in the right-sided cardiac chambers, even in the absence of the characteristic clinical features of the condition. This is particularly applicable if the patient is a young male from the Mediterranean basin or the Middle East. We suggest that the treatment could include colchicine, anticoagulant therapy, and corticosteroids and discuss immunosuppressive therapy.
