A few days later, electrocardiography was performed which showed coving ST elevation in lateral leads (Figure 1).

Transthoracic echocardiography (done on the day of transfer to cardiology ward) showed a large (3cmx5cm) mass in the left atrium which was attached firmly to the free wall and extended into the left atrial appendage (Figures 3 and 4).

Only two dilated pulmonary veins were visible, which were surrounded by a mass that appeared to be in continuity with a large extracardiac mass compressing the left ventricular lateral wall and restricting its motion (Figure 5).
