Images of a ventricular lipoma in an asymptomatic male patient (part of pictures have been previously published in the review by our griup [13]). The ventricular lipoma presented as a well-defined homogenous hyperechoic mass within left ventricle (a). The lipomas showed homogenous low density (-100 HU) on CT (b). On cardiac MRI, the lovely heart-shaped lipoma showed same signal intensity with subcutaneous fat in all sequences including cine sequence (c), T1 weighted image (d), T2 weight fat suppression image (e). Particularly, the narrow pedicle of the lipoma was depicted in short axis image attached to the endomyocardium (f, arrowhead)
