Magnetic resonance diagnosis of lipomatous hypertrophy of the atrioventricular grooves mimicking a tumour on echocardiography.
Echogenic structures in the atrioventricular grooves may cause diagnostic problems and may be misinterpreted as a tumour. Images of lipomatous hypertrophy of the atrioventricular grooves diagnosed by magnetic resonance but mimicking a tumour on echocardiography are presented.
