Zusammenfassung:Intracavitary thrombi are an important differential diagnosis of cardiac masses. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) allows their non‐invasive characterization. This case highlights extensive cardiac thrombi detected by CMR as solitary presentation of antiphospholipid syndrome. Cardiac MRI helps to characterize cardiac masses and allows discrimination between benign and malign entities. Rare causes such as Antiphospholipid Syndrome for intracavitary thrombi should be considered in patients with non‐ischemic heart disease.
