In this case we have reported a 61 year old man came to the emergency ward of hospital with history of recent onset dyspnea and The Laboratory finding indicates polycythemia with thrombocytopenia. Ultrasonography of abdomen and bone marrow aspiration and biopsy revealed no significant diagnosis but on echocardiography a large sized mass was detected in right atrium.
