Right ventricular thrombus
is a very rare manifestation of cardiovascular Behcet's disease. A 25-year-old man was admitted to hospital due to cough and fever of unknown origin. He experienced repetitive
pulmonary embolism
due to a right ventricular thrombus, which was surgically removed. A diagnosis of Behcet's disease was made based on his clinical course and the histological findings of the right ventricular wall and the skin lesion. He was quickly relieved of his symptoms after warfarinization and cyclosporine therapy.

Right ventricular thrombus
(RVT) can be life-threatening, since it has the potential to embolise and cause saddle
pulmonary embolism
(PE). We present a patient who initially presented with haemodynamically stable PE with evidence of RVT on echocardiogram. She was placed on heparin drip; however, she later developed cardiac arrest and died due to embolisation of RVT to the pulmonary vasculature. Although management of haemodynamically stable PE in patients with RVT is still a matter of debate,
1
given the outcome we suggest that thrombolysis or emergent embolectomy at the presentation, in this case, may have had a favourable outcome.
