A tumor, vegetation, or a thrombus may cause a mass on tricuspid valve. In addition to imaging methods patient’s symptoms and clinical findings have paramount importance for correct diagnosis. We aimed to present a 36-year-old male patient with a thrombus on the tricuspid valve which was possibly related to pacemaker implantation.
