Left atrial tumor thrombus in metastatic thyroid cancer
A 75-year-old lady with previously diagnosed moderate mixed aortic valve disease underwent surveillance transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). This showed raised trans-aortic gradients in the presence of normal aortic valve leaflet motion and turbulent colour flow across a calcified left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT). Therefore, in view of possible subaortic stenosis, she was referred for cardiac computed tomography for further characterisation. Past medical history included total thyroidectomy and 2 rounds of radioiodine ablation for follicular thyroid carcinoma 12 months prior.
