Key result
A rare case of hamartoma of mature cardiac myocytes presenting as a hyperechoic mass in the left ventricle infiltrating the adjacent myocardium was reported.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the imaging and histopathological characteristics of a rare benign cardiac tumor, hamartoma of mature cardiac myocytes.
Highlights MRI-histopathology features of rare ventricular hamartoma; leaves open standardized diagnostic and management strategies.
Hamartoma of mature cardiac myocyte is a benign tumor of the heart. They are characterized by haphazardly arranged hypertrophic cardiac myocytes with variable amounts of intervening fibrosis, mature adipose tissue along with irregularly distributed variable-sized vascular channels. The case presented here had a hyperechoic mass in the left ventricle arising from the midinferior and posterior interventricular septum, infiltrating into the adjacent myocardium. The MRI , histopathology findings and the clinical outcome is presented.
