Abstract

We experienced a case of calcified ball thrombus that was fixed to the atrial septum in the left atrium. This patient had no symptoms and no cardiac dysfunction. the thrombus was detected during preoperative work-up of a retroperitoneal tumor. The process of fixation to the atrial septum and calcification is unclear.
