  • Title: Thrombus in the left atrial septal pouch mimicking myxoma.
    Author: Shimamoto K, Kawagoe T, Dai K, Inoue I.
    Journal: J Clin Ultrasound; 2014; 42(3):185-8. PubMed ID: 24002777.
    Abstract:
    A 15 × 13 mm mobile ovoid mass attached via a 15 × 5 mm stalk to the interatrial septum in the left atrium was detected on transesophageal echocardiography and was diagnosed as a myxoma in a 70-year-old woman with chronic atrial fibrillation. She was prescribed anticoagulant therapy with warfarin before elective cardiac surgery and demonstrated no thromboembolic event during a 2.5-month period. Preoperative transesophageal echocardiography showed the disappearance of the intracardiac mass and the presence of a left atrial septal pouch, suggesting that the initial image was a thrombus originating from the left atrial septal pouch.
