Double discordance in the hypoplastic left heart.
A neonate was transferred for an intracardiac mass. Initially, the mass was mistaken for a hypoplastic right ventricle, a thrombus, or a tumor. Only a thorough segmental and sequential analysis showed double discordance with a hypoplastic left ventricle. No such entity has yet been described.
