Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a relatively common inherited cardiac disorder, with echocardiography still being the initial imaging method for its diagnosis. Cardiac fibroma is a primary neoplasm that most commonly presents in childhood. We present a patient who was investigated for typical cardiac symptoms who went on to have cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and was found to have both of these conditions.
