Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)- positive patients are known to have a higher risk of cardiovascular complications that are related to the underlying infection itself and also to the complications of their medical treatment.

A case of a right ventricular mass in an asymptomatic HIV positive patient detected by echocardiography is presented and the surgical management is described.
