  Abstract

We report a patient with a mass originating from the anterior mitral valve leaflet causing severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Noninvasive imaging provided the best diagnostic tools for diagnosis. Histological findings showed a very rare giant blood cyst of the mitral valve.

Keywords: cardiac mass; echocardiography; cardiac MRI
