Surgical removal of an incidentally discovered left ventricular mass in a 20-year-old man revealed a 10x15x15 mm, 2 g soft and sessile tumor.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report describes the echocardiographic and gross surgical findings of an incidentally discovered left ventricular mass in an asymptomatic young man.
Incidental LV mass in asymptomatic young adult adds descriptive data; leaves open optimal evaluation and management strategies.
A 20-year-old man, previously asymptomatic, showed an incidental finding at echocardiography of a left ventricular mass.In the Figure , A is a two-dimensional echocardiogram in the apical four-chamber view showing a round mass (arrow), scarcely mobile, attached to the left ventricular anterolateral free wall.B shows the gross appearance of the mass removed at surgery: it looks soft and sessile, with a smooth surface, and is 10ϫ15ϫ15 mm in size and 2 g in weight.C, At histology, the tumor
