Left atrial thrombus
Case contributed by:
Dr Jeremy Jones
Presentation:
Increasing shortness of breath with pleuritic chest pain.
Patient Data:
Age: 68
Gender: Female
Race: Caucasian
From the case:
Left atrial thrombus
Modality:
CT
The CT demonstrates a large soft tissue density within the left atrium. Further smaller mass within the left ventricle. Bilateral pleural effusions and a hiatus hernia.
Case Discussion:
The differential is between atrial myxoma and atrial thrombus; the latter is more likely here since there is a second ventricular mass and no septal attachment.
