Her initial chest X ray and CT scan revealed a right pleural effusion which was negative for TB and malignancy. Two months later she experienced increasing dysponea. A huge left atrial mass was discovered during echocardiographic evaluation which proved to be Leiomyosarcoma after surgical excision and histopathological examination.
