Arrhythmogenic Left Ventricular Mass as the Initial Presentation of Cardiac Sarcoidosis

Abstract

Cardiac tumors of the left ventricle are rare, and cardiac magnetic resonance is the preferred imaging tool for evaluation given superior tissue characterization. We present a case of a patient with arrhythmia and left ventricular mass that was ultimately diagnosed with cardiac sarcoidosis, reminding us that tissue is the issue.
