Acute ischemic mitral regurgitation is due to complete or partial rupture of either anterolateral or posteriomedial papillary muscles occurring within a week of acute myocardial infarction. Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation is due to postinfarct remodeling leading to imbalance between tethering and closing forces of mitral valve apparatus. We present a 64-year-old male, presenting with acute pulmonary edema secondary to severe mitral regurgitation, a week after his myocardial infarction. Transthoracic echocardiogram detected a mobile intracardiac mass near anterior mitral leaflet with no clear-cut intracardiac origin of this mass. Perioperative transesophageal echocardiography detected rupture of one of the heads of posteriomedial papillary muscle. This case illustrates a rare presentation of postinfarct rupture of one of the heads of posteriomedial papillary muscle occurring late after infarction presenting as an intracardiac mass, which can have surgical
