“…Table 2 gives the differentiating features between tumor (myxoma) and thrombi. Although cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could have been performed for better tissue characterization of the RA mass, [ 9 ] in addition to it being expensive, it is not a part of routine investigation at our institute.…”

Cardiac masses are a significant cause of patient morbidity and mortality by virtue of their symptoms and surgical removal. Preoperative diagnosis of a cardiac mass is usually based on clinical correlation and transthoracic echocardiography findings. Myxomas are the most common benign cardiac tumors, commonly occurring in the left atrium attached to the interatrial septum near the fossa ovalis. Although, at times atypical location and unusual morphology may pose a diagnostic dilemma with 2D echocardiography. 3D echocardiography with its multifaceted advantages, including multiplanar cropping abilities and superior imaging quality can help distinguish between a clot and a myxoma.
