Fibroma: 63-year-old incidentally found to have LV mass when she presented with atrial fibrillation. (a) Mid-esophageal 4-chamber view with large anterolateral wall intramyocardial mass (arrow) (b) Mass as seen well in the transgastric long axis view inferior-lateral (posterior) wall. (c) Surgeons view from an incision made in the apex of the left ventricle. (d) A golf ball-sized tumor was noted in the posterolateral wall of the left ventricle. The tumor was completely excised without entering the left ventricular cavity, 3.7 × 3.2 × 2.8 cm firm white solid mass diagnosed as a fibroma. (e) 4-ch Fiesta sequence showing 3.7 cm mass in the anterolateral wall. (f) There is intense late gadolinium enhancement of the mass.

Abbreviation: LV, left ventricle.
