Representative cases incorrectly diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography. a. Horizontal section of a right parasternal view. Thrombus attached to RA appendage (arrow). We misdiagnosedthis as an RA myxoma. b. Left parasternal four-chamber view. We could not diagnose the tumor type before surgery. A leiomyosarcoma arose from the coronary sinus and was detected around the LV (arrows). RA = right atrium, LA = left atrium, IVC = inferior vena cava, SVC = superior vena cava, LV = left ventricle, RV = right ventricle
