A 33-year-old woman was referred for cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to further assess a left ventricular mass found after an echocardiography. Her past medical history was remarkable for multiple basal cell carcinomas and surgical resection of odontogenic cysts, and her family history was negative for cardiac tumors. The patient was in her usual state of health until 6 months before presentation, when she noted increasing fatigue, atypical chest pain, and exertional dyspnea. She also complained of intermittent palpitations without syncope. A transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a 6×3-cm mass in the left ventricular lateral wall, with deformation of the left ventricular cavity. Left ventricular systolic global function was normal, and there was a trace amount of mitral regurgitation.The patient underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance examination with a 1.5 …
