Popis: A 39-year-old female patient who had aortic and mitral valve replacement due to rheumatic heart disease was also found to have cystic mass in the right ventricle on echocardiography during late routine control. The cystic mass identified on echocardiography was shown to be a pseudoaneurysm that develops from the membranous section of the interventricular septum and grows toward the right heart by ECG-triggered cardiac computed tomography performed for differential diagnosis. Because the patient did not accept the surgery, regular follow-ups were recommended.
