ABSTRACT
We report a case of an infective endocarditis presented as a right atrial mass which pathological study showed a big vegetation of candida albicans (mycetoma). We think its presence was related to a great central vein catheterization during the neonatal period. The clinical feature was completed with pulmonary fungal embolism and later tricuspid valve afectation. With this work we wish to remark the necessary careful management of patients with central vein catheters to avoid this severe complication. We review the pharmacological and surgical treatment of this uncommon entity.
