Left Atrial Thrombus Mimicking Myxoma After Orthotopic Heart Transplantation: Is the Multimodality Imaging Always Sufficient?

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We present a case of left atrial thrombus mimicking myxoma after orthotopic heart transplantation. Multimodality imaging established the diagnosis of atrial myxoma, and the patient was treated accordingly, but the definite diagnosis after surgical excision and histology showed left atrial thrombus. This report demonstrates the limitations of multimodality diagnosis in tumors with features highly suggestive of an atrial myxoma.
