Figure Paracardiac mass located between the aorta (Ao), pulmonary artery (PA), and left atrium (LA). Transesophageal echocardiography (A) with transducer rotated to 85° demonstrates an echogenic mass (arrow). T2-weighted turbo spin echo cardiac magnetic resonance (B) demonstrates circumscribed mass, which is relatively hyperintense when compared with nearby muscle, suggestive of increased vascularity. Positron emission tomography with fluorodeoxyglucose F-18 (C) demonstrates moderately increased metabolic activity of the mass (arrow). RA=right atrium.
