Abstract

We report a case of cardiac lipoma with intramyocardial invasion complicated by visceral inversion, which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported before. Multimodality imaging played an important role in differential diagnosis and determination of the management strategy. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Keywords: CT, computed tomography; LV, left ventricular; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; cardiac lipoma; intramyocardial left ventricular lipoma; visceral inversion.
