Isolated right ventricular outflow tract mass presenting as hemoptysis.

Infective endocarditis presenting as an isolated right ventricular outflow tract mass is rare. We report a 34-year-old man with no history of congenital heart defect or intravenous drug abuse who presented with hemoptysis and fevers. Diagnostic workup revealed isolated right ventricular outflow tract vegetation. Despite aggressive antibiotic treatment for endocarditis, he developed septic emboli and acute respiratory distress. He was taken to the operating room for successful resection of the ventricular mass.
