Authors: Mehmet TaÅŸar, Fatih Ada.
Abstract
Left atrial masses are generally myxomas or thrombus formations. When the operation of the mass is inevitable, preoperative radiological techniques are used for understanding the properties. When a mass in left atrium is seen, it thought to be solely myxoma or thrombus. In this case, we aimed to present a patient that underwent open cardiac surgery for a left atrial mass and it was a myxoma which was surrounded by thrombus formation.
