Left atrial myxoma

The long axis precordial view from a transthoracic echocardiography shows the tumor as a vague mass just behind the aortic root (panel A). The apical four chamber view (panel B) shows the mass attached to the interatrial septum. A transesophageal echocardiography (panels C and D) reveals that the myxoma is highly mobile and at surgery, the tumor had the consistency of jelly and fragmented easily.
