Cardiovascular magnetic resonance of cardiac tumors and masses

Figure 8 Seventy-one-year-old female with incidental finding of cardiac mass adherent to the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve on cardiovascular magnetic resonance. The examination was performed for suspected noncompact myocardium on a previous ultrasound examination in a patient with known metastatic thyroid cancer. Orange arrow shows a mobile “valvular” mass at cine-steady state free precession (SSFP) imaging (A and B), with intermediate signal on T1-weighted images (C), high signal on T2 short tau inversion recovery images (D) and with poor enhancement at late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images (E and F). This location of the mass and its cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) features are in keeping with fibroelastoma. The patient underwent a periodic CMR follow-up for 3 years (G: cine-SSFP and H: LGE sequences), and the mass shows no change.
