Cardiovascular magnetic resonance of cardiac tumors and masses

Figure 9 Fifty-one-year-old male patient, with incidental finding of a suspicious intraseptal hyperechoic mass at transesophageal echocardiography. Cine-steady state free precession magnetic resonance (A and B) confirms the presence of an intraseptal mass with a chemical shift artefact at the border. The mass shows high signal intensity on proton density-weighted images (C) and low signal intensity on short tau inversion recovery images (D). The mass shows no enhancement on perfusion images (E and F, two different frame). These findings are in keeping with cardiac lipoma.
