ABSTRACT
We report an unusual study of a 72-year-old woman who presented with a symptomatic space-occupying lesion in the left ventricle. The lesion was surgically excised with a good long-term result. It was histologicaly diagnosed as an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Also known as an inflammatory pseudotumor, these tumors affecting the heart are extremely rare and occur mainly in children and adolescents. We review the literature and highlight the unique nature of the lesion.
