Abstract

Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). COVID-19 usually affects the lungs but may also involve other organs such as the heart. We report a case of a para-cardiac mass in a previously healthy 45-year-old male who developed persistent dyspnea following SARS-CoV-2 infection. The patient underwent cardiac surgery since the mass was attached to the pericardium and was causing constrictive pericarditis. The pathology report indicated an inflammatory pattern for the mass. Based on the authors' knowledge there has been no previous report of developing a para-cardiac inflammatory mass after SARS-CoV-2 infection. This report aimed to increase awareness regarding the possibility of developing a para-cardiac inflammatory mass following COVID-19. © 2023, Sultan Qaboos University. All rights reserved.
