Abstract

Abstract A myocardial mass was found on the left ventricle wall of a four-year-old Chinese girl diagnosed with pulmonary valve stenosis and patent foramen ovale. Surgical valvotomy and partial excision of the myocardial mass were performed, and a biopsy of the myocardial mass revealed myocardial lipomatous infiltration. (J Card Surg 2010;25:513-514)
