Transthoracic echocardiography, apical 4-chamber view. Cardiac mass in left atrium is attached to the interatrial septum in the region of the fossa ovalis (arrow). Histopathological characterization confirmed cardiac myxoma. LA = left atrium , LV = left ventricle; RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle
