- Abstract
- We report on an extremely rare case of a fake lesion in the left ventricle on electrocardiogram-gated cardiac computed tomography simulating thrombus or tumor by turbulent flow in a 14-year-old boy. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with contrast-enhanced myocardial perfusion and delayed enhancement images were helpful in excluding true thrombus or tumor. Awareness of this potential pitfall is critical in order to avoid unnecessary anticoagulation or surgery.
