case_images: On transesophageal echocardiography morphological features (Figure 2, Figure 3) of the mass were consistent with myxoma: the mass measuring 53/32, was shaped like a tennis racquet, with poorly-defined edged evoking its friable aspect, it has a heterogeneous appearance with hypoechoic areas probably related to focal necrosis, it is attached to the interatrial septum by several filamentous attachments allowing its high mobility.

case_images: Platelet count was gradually increased to reach 95-103/microl after 6 months postoperatively, echocardiography showed vacuity of the left atrium, with normal mitral valve leaflets and a mild regurgitation (Figure 5).
