Popis: A 35-year-old man with cerebral vascular accident due to a left ventricular myxoma, had his diagnosis cleaned up by the transesophageal echocardiography. The patient underwent heart surgery to remove the tumor. The final pathologic diagnosis was therefore pedunculated thrombus of the left ventricle although the clinical findings and gross morphologic features of the mass were highly suggestive of myxoma.
