Malignant RV Mass on POCUS Echocardiogram (PLAX)
57yo M with chest pain.  Normal work up including negative ECG, CXR & trop.  POCUS done prior to discharge shows...
Well defined echogenic mass seen in the RV- appears to be attached to the IVS. IVS is flattened with a D-shaped ventricle suggesting pulmonary hypertension. 
This was indeed a RV mass. He had had an outpatient & ED workup on several occasions.  Admitted this time after #pocus scan to CV Surg. Unfortunately, path was metastatic pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma.  Post-op course initially went well, then 4mo later he developed RVOT obstruction
