Echocardiogram performed on the first day in hospital. A movable mass (large white arrow, 23.7mmx14.9mm) can be seen on the anterior mitral leaflet (small white arrow), and this caused the valve annulus to adhere to the valve leaflet.

Subsequently, an echocardiogram revealed a wart on the anterior mitral valve with regurgitation (Fig. 1). He was referred to the department of cardiac surgery at our hospital for suspected IE and was admitted directly because a transesophageal cardiac echocardiogram showed mitral valve destruction with a wart (Fig. 1).
