2 FIGURE 1 Multislice magnetic resonance imaging of heart during initial workup in August An 8.8 cm × 6.4 cm × 6.6-cm mass affecting primarily the left atrium, with extension into the right atrium at the interatrial septum is demonstrated (arrow). Inferiorly, there is involvement of the left ventricle, inferior vena cava, and the mass is intimate to the lower esophagus and abuts, the anterior aspect of the descending aorta.
