a Electrocardiography (ECG) showing diffuse repolarisation disorders probably due to strain. b CT angiography shows a large lipoid mass at the apical interventricular septum which protrudes into the left and right ventricle (straight arrows) and with a septal artery running through the mass (curved arrow). c Cardiac MR bSSFP image shows a chemical shift artifact (straight arrow) around the mass indicating lipoid origin; myocardial fibres are running through the mass (curved arrow). d Postgadolinium cardiac MR T2 weighted image with fat suppression shows lack of enhancement of the mass (curved arrow); enhancing myocardial fibres are visible as a subtle haze at the edges of the mass (straight arrow)
