  • Title: [Left atrial tumour in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy: myxoma or thrombus? A case report].
    Author: Lisowska A, Skibińska E, Galar B, Tomaszuk-Kazberuk A.
    Journal: Kardiol Pol; 2003 Mar; 58(3):221-3; discussion 223. PubMed ID: 14513097.
    Abstract:
    A case of a 51-year-old male with dilated cardiomyopathy and left atrial mass detected by echocardiography is described. Differential diagnosis between thrombus and myoxoma was difficult. Anticoagulation therapy was initiated and no intra-atrial mass was detected during the control echocardiographic examination. Thus, the diagnosis of intracardiac thrombus was established ex iuvantibus. Difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of intracardiac masses are discussed.
