Abstract

Background: A patient returning from India presented with a two-month fever of unknown origin and elevated inflammatory markers, initially suspected of having infective endocarditis due to a mitral valve vegetation. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges of differentiating intracardiac masses in travelers, requiring careful evaluation of both imaging and clinical findings.
