Atrial Thrombus or Atrial Myxoma? Preliminary Analysis of Echocardiographic Findings of a Case Series

CONCLUSION: An atrial thrombus is occasionally difficult to differentiate from an atrial myxoma in patients without atrial fibrillation, especially when it is not attached to the left atrial appendage. Upon review of the echocardiographic findings of the 8 patients described in our study, it is essential to highlight the fact that a thrombus can mimic a myxoma and thereby create a diagnostic conundrum.PMID:38676477 | DOI:10.2174/011573403X281926240417110330
