摘　　要：BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinoma(RCC)is an aggressive tumor,with an incidental discovery in most patients.Classic presentation is rare,and it has a high frequency of local and distant metastasis at the time of detection.CASE SUMMARY We present a rare case of a 58-year-old man with a ball-shaped thrombus in the right atrium at the time of first incidental identification of RCC in the emergency department.Cardiac metastasis,especially thrombus in the right atrium,is rare.It could either be a bland thrombus or a tumor thrombus,and physicians should consider this potentially fatal complication of RCC early at the time of initial presentation.CONCLUSION Ball-shaped lesions in the right atrium are rare,and bland thrombus should be differentiated from tumor thrombus secondary to intracardiac metastasis.
