Introduction: intracardiac thrombosis is a rare complication of antiphospholipid syndrome (SAPL), which can occur as an intracardiac tumor. His discovery usually precedes the diagnosis of SAPL. Observation: We report the case of a young Moroccan patient who underwent surgery after the discovery of a right intra-auricular tumor. It was an organized thrombus and in the aftermath we diagnosed an SAPL. The progression was favorable under anticoagulant in addition to corticosteroid therapy. Conclusion: The discovery of an intracardiac tumor in a young subject must evoke the diagnosis of cardiac thrombus and carry out an etiological investigation in search of an SAPL in particular.
Author Keywords: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, prolonged fever, Intra-cardiac thrombus, Myxoma, Cardiac pseudotumor, Echocardiography.

Abstract: (french)
Introduction: la thrombose intracardiaque est une complication rare du syndrome des antiphospholipides (SAPL) qui peut se présenter comme une tumeur intracardiaque. Sa découverte précède généralement le diagnostic du SAPL. Observation: nous rapportons le cas d’un jeune patient marocain qui a subi une chirurgie après la découverte d’une tumeur intra-auriculaire droite. Il s’agissait d’un thrombus organisé et dans les suites opératoires nous avons diagnostiqué un SAPL. L’évolution a été favorable sous anticoagulant en plus de la corticothérapie. Conclusion: la découverte d’une tumeur intracardiaque chez un sujet jeune doit faire évoquer le diagnostic de thrombus cardiaque et faire réaliser une enquête étiologique à la recherche d’un SAPL notamment.
