case_images: Transthoracic echocardiogram showed a large hypoechoic cystic mass, measuring 41 x 55 mm (area = 19 cm2) with liquid content in the left ventricle (LV) (Figure 1).

case_images: CT scan showed a low-attenuation mass in the left ventricle (Figure 2), a finding that is consistent with type I unilocular HC. Cardiac-gated magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of the HC in the LV and described its relationship with cardiac chambers.

case_images: After right atriotomy and through the atrial septum and the mitral valve, a 5 cm white mass was found on the left midventricular part of the muscular interventricular septum (Figure 3).
