An unexpected left atrial mass was found during routine postoperative transthoracic echocardiogram in an infant following surgical closure of ventricular septal defect. Thrombus could not be excluded. At reoperation it was found to be an inverted left atrial appendage. This case demonstrates the echocardiographic appearance of an inverted left atrial appendage.
