Opacity in basal part of left lung (black arrow) resulting in diminished left heart border and small amount of pleural effusion (white arrow) (A). Same opacity in sagittal view of chest (B).

Chest CT scan in axial view with inflammatory stranding around an ovoid structure of fat density (circle), atelectasis in an adjacent part of the left lung and a small amount of left-sided pleural effusion (arrow) (A). Same ovoid structure seen in axial lung window (B) and in coronal views as well (C and D). CT indicates computed tomography.

Parasternal long axis demonstrating highly echogenic pericardium covering the inferolateral wall of the left ventricle (whole arrow) and a hypoechogenic area in front of it (dotted arrow) (A). Parasternal short axis showing the same features as long axis (B). Apical 4-chamber view showing highly echogenic pericardium covering the lateral wall of left ventricle (C).

A transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showed a hypoechogenic area located in front of the left ventricle and possible highly echogenic adjacent pericardium covering the free wall of the left ventricle (Figure 3).
Follow-up study with cardiac MRI 3 weeks after the initial presentation showed slightly coarse pattern of the fat tissue. Shown are coronal (A) and axial (B) T2 views. MRI indicates magnetic resonance imaging.
