Abstract:
•The comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation of a large, atypical left ventricular mass is presented.•The case highlights the importance of careful assessment from multiple imaging planes, using both transthoracic and transesophageal imaging, in order to accurately characterize an intracardiac mass on echocardiography.•In certain cases where further characterization of an intracardiac mass is required, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging could assist in differentiating cardiac thrombus from cardiac tumors.

Unusual Results
According to the range rule of thumb, any value above or below two standard deviations, 2σ from the mean, μ is considered unusual.

z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...
