During the course of her evaluation a magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed two brain lesions, one in the right frontal lobe measuring 2x1.7 cm with extensive edema and another in the left parietal lobe measuring 0.8x0.6 cm on the axial T1-weighted images (Figure 1, yellow and red arrow, respectively).
Transesophageal echocardiogram showed a left atrial mass at the base of the posterior mitral valve leaflet with mobile fronds.

FDG-avid in the left atrium. Further evaluation with a transesophageal echocardiogram showed a 2.5x1.8 cm left atrial mass at the base of the posterior mitral valve leaflet with mobile fronds (Figure 2, yellow circle).
Intraoperative image: the tumor was found to obliterate the left atrial appendage and extended into the mitral valve annulus (yellow arrow).
