2 Figure 1 Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography showed a huge left atrial mass prolapsing into the left ventricle. Sixty-four-slice computed tomography. Three-dimensional, volume-rendered reconstruction demonstrating the left atrial mass and the diastolic obstruction of the mitral inflow (left-hand panel). Cross-sectional reconstruction at the level of upper interatrial septum revealed the tumor attachment (right-hand panel).
