(A) Electrocardiogram showing premature ventricular beats with left bundle branch block morphology, organized in a bigeminy pattern. (B) Transthoracic echocardiography four-chamber view revealing a homogeneous and hyperechoic mass infiltrating the right ventricle’s free wall (arrow). (C) Cardiac magnetic resonance: cine-steady-state free precession four-chamber view showing a T2-hypointense mass (C1), with perfusion defects on the early perfusion sequence (C2), and focal late gadolinium enhancement on the 3D myocardial delayed enhancement sequence (C3) and phase-sensitive inversion recovery four-chamber sequence (C4).
