Abstract
A 40-year-old male with hematoma of the left ventricular myocardium is described. On echocardiography, the hematoma was initially diagnosed as a cyst-like structure located at the apex and adjoining anterolateral wall of the left ventricle. A contrast-enhanced computerized tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging further confirmed this lesion to be a hematoma. On follow-up, the hematoma gradually subsided and could not be seen on a repeat echocardiography and computerized tomography scan at four weeks.
