RESUMO
Left atrial (LA) masses are known to be associated with peripheral embolization. Accurate identification of etiology is crucial because treatment strategies may differ. We present the case of a young woman, who was initially diagnosed with a LA thrombus and anticoagulated. The diagnosis was revised to a primary cardiac tumor after review of the echocardiographic findings. Surgical excision revealed an atrial myxoma in an unusual location.
