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...

| description | 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 and movement of the mass, as well as the patient’s cerebral infarction episode, the
mass was initially suspected to be a thrombus. However, the mass was surgically diagnosed as
NET. |
