[A left intraventricular mass].
We report the case of a 29-years-old male presenting with a large mass inserted at the hypokinetic apex of the left ventricle. Without any early regression under anticoagulant therapy and taking into account recent neurological manifestations, surgical extraction was decided. The mass corresponded to a chronic thrombus lying on a non-transmural myocardial necrosis. This case gives us the opportunity to review all causes of intracardiac masses.
