MRI scanning revealed an incidentally discovered left ventricular mass to be a thrombosed pseudoaneurysm, clarifying ambiguous findings from echocardiography and CT.
Cardiac MRI is effective in accurately diagnosing a thrombosed left ventricular pseudoaneurysm when initial echocardiography and CT imaging are ambiguous.

We present a patient who had an LV mass picked up by chance on transthoracic echocardiography. CT scan suggested this to be an LV aneurysm although it did not have appearances typical of this on echocardiography. MRI scan was performed and it showed this mass to be a thrombosed pseudoaneurysm.
