Abstract
A healthy 22-year-old woman presented with acute ventricular tachycardia. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the left ventricular cavity. On the basis of these findings, a provisional diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma was made and the patient was scheduled to undergo an immediate cardiac surgical procedure. During intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography, the anterolateral papillary muscle (PM) was found to have an abnormal consistency and appeared thickened in the midesophageal (Fig 1A, Fig 1B) and transgastric mid–short axis (Fig 1C) views.
