Hi everyone,

Just needed second opinon on this nodule whether you think it could be a mass or a fat pad. I’m leaning more towards a fat pad given the ‘smoothness’ of the nodule, however, it could potentially be part of the tricuspid valve as well.

Cat is a diabetic 15 year old burmese that presented with dyspnoea and lethargy. No heart murmur auscultated. Thoracic radiographs showed increase opacity/alveolar-intersitital pattern in the cranial and mid lung lobes bilaterally. There was a pleural fissure line observed on the right hand side suggesting mild pleural effusion.

Echocardigraphic study performed had normal measurements on the Left ventricle except for (subjective) enlargement in the right atrium and ventricle. No tricuspid insufficiency was observed on Doppler. Pulmonary outlfow was normal velocity and laminar.
