A magnetic resonance image (with gadolinium) shows a transverse view of the heart in diastole. The mass in the right ventricle (asterisk) fills most of the ventricle, and impedes filling of the left ventricle (LV). Note also the severe dilatation of the right atrium (RA) as well as the pericardial effusion (bright).

An MRI showed a right ventricular avascular mass originating from the intraventricular septum, along with multiple nodular irregularities seen on the visceral pericardium and a moderate pericardial effusion (Figure 1).
