Surgical excision and pathology of an exuberant left ventricular mass in a 43-year-old woman post-myocardial infarction revealed a fibrin-rich thrombus, highlighting the diagnostic challenge versus tumour.
Case Report (n=1)
Atypical presentations of post-infarction left ventricular thrombus can mimic cardiac tumours on multimodality imaging, sometimes requiring surgical excision for definitive diagnosis.

Post-MI LV masses may mimic tumors, warranting multimodal imaging caution; leaves open standardized diagnostic algorithms.
Viscuse et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Left ventricular mass post-myocardial infarction (n=1). Surgical excision and pathological examination was evaluated on Pathological diagnosis of the left ventricular mass. Surgical excision and pathology of an exuberant left ventricular mass in a 43-year-old woman post-myocardial infarction revealed a fibrin-rich thrombus, highlighting the diagnostic challenge versus tumour.
