Differential Diagnosis • LA mass most probably LA myxoma. (abnormal attachment) • LA thrombus. (abnormal place) • Lipoma. • Liomyosarcoma. • Metastasis from the lung.
What is the next step? 1- Course of anticoagulation. 2- Further investigation.
Continue oral anticoagulation. F/U echo after 2 weeks. • The patient came back after 2 week. • She was compliant to her ttt with INR 2.3. • TTE was done for F/U
What are the possibilities ? • Liomyosarcoma. • Bleeding inside myxoma. • Metastatics 2ndry to lung Tr • Enlarged thrombus
What is the next step? 1- Continue anticoagulation. 2- Further investigation.
The increase in mass size despite adequate dose of anticoagulation increase the suspicion of TUMER. • Due to the site of the mass & its encroachment on the Rt upper PV orifices. • We elected to do further investigation. • CT Scan chest. • TEE also done for better visualization of the mass attachment
