This is the first reported case of primary left ventricular angiomatosis, presenting with ventricular tachycardia and successfully treated with surgical resection.
Expands differential for left ventricular masses causing ventricular tachycardia; extends anatomic spectrum of proliferative angiomatosis and leaves management questions open.
A 24 year-old male who presented with palpitations and presyncopal attacks had monomorphic ventricular tachycardia and a well-defined huge mass within the inferoposterior wall of the left ventricle proved by transthoracic echocardiography. The mass was completely resected and shown to be proliferative angiomatosis by histopathologic examination. This is the first reported case of primary left ventricular angiomatosis in the literature.
