  • All good D/D. 

    The best way is to have clear TEE images, carefully assessing the mass and its origin.

    Cardiac MRI might help as well.

    Also there is significant MR which is suggestive of the MV involvement. Not enough images.

    I have seen similar case and TEE showed rupture papillary muscle which was miss-diagnosed by TTE. That was confirmed during cardiac surgery and histopathology.
