Confronting perimenopausal women’s knowledge of coronary heart disease with their health behaviours. Controversial role of hormone replacement therapy in the protection of coronary heart disease
We present an interesting case of a patient with uterine leiomyoma and a vascular abnormality of the internal iliac artery and peri‑uterine veins presenting a right intracardiac mass with an extremely unusual and misleading shape, requiring surgical removal and pathological examination to confirm the diagnosis.

Keywords

vascular abnormality, right intracardiac mass, ring-shaped thrombus
