title="Left atrial appendage mass: is it always a thrombus?",
abstract="Myxomas are the most common benign tumors of the heart. Cardiac myxomas are found in the left atrium in 80–90% of cases and are often attached to the interatrial septum. Myxomas originating from the left atrial appendage are very rare. In this report, we present a patient in whom surgery was performed after the diagnosis of mitral valve stenosis, chronic atrial fibrillation, and a possible left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus (which was incidentally diagnosed as a myxoma).",
