Abstract
Cardiac tumors are rare. Most often they are metastatic tumors, while primary tumors are much less common. In addition to proliferative changes in the heart, there are also non-neoplastic structures, such as thrombus, vegetation or inflammatory tumors. All structures with a heart tumor morphology require a lot of imaging studies in order to diagnose them and plan treatment without performing a biopsy. We present a case of a 75-year-old female patient who had moving masses in the left atrium on echocardiography. Computed tomography of the chest was performed, which did not clearly explain the nature of the structure observed in the left atrium. The Heart Team decided to perform another test—magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart in 3 months to differentiate the lesion. The examination was performed after 3 months of warfarin therapy and there were no masses in the left atrium, which confirmed that the observed tumor was a thrombus.
