Intracardiac Extension of Lung Carcinoma Presenting as an Atrial Myxoma: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Left atrial (LA) mass is most commonly presumed to be a cardiac myxoma, as it is approximately 75% of primary cardiac tumors, with a strong predilection for the LA. In rare instances, primary lung carcinoma may extend to the LA, creating an intracardiac mass indistinguishable from a myxoma on initial echocardiographic assessment.
