(A) Electrocardiography showed sinus tachycardia with extensive ST-segment elevation at leads I, II, III, aVF, and V3-V6. (B) Transthoracic echocardiography depicted an infiltrative mass (asterisk). (C) Late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the ill-defined intramyocardial mass at the mid-to-apical lateral LV wall with peripheral enhancement and central necrosis (asterisk). (D) Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the chest revealed a cavitating mass with an irregular margin at the right upper lung field (white arrow) and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. (E) Bronchoscopic biopsy of the lung unveiled moderately differentiated keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (red arrow). LV, left ventricle; RV right ventricle
