A Primary Neuroendocrine Tumor Mimicking a Thrombus in the Left Atrial Appendage
Most cardiac tumors are metastases, and primary cardiac tumors are rare; even among primary cardiac tumors, primary cardiac neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of a patient presenting a left atrial mass without past medical history. Because of the location an...

mass was initially suspected to be a thrombus. However, the mass was surgically diagnosed as
NET. |
