There was no relevant travel abroad, consumption of potentially hazardous foods, or alcohol or drug abuse.</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Regarding family history, his mother was diagnosed with systemic hypertension in her twenties and was being followed for suspected aortic dilatation and cardiac valve disease. His father also had hypertension.</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The patient was asymptomatic and underwent routine exams, including an electrocardiogram which revealed nonspecific abnormalities due to which he was referred for a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). This showed an intracardiac cystic mass. A transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) and additional blood tests were performed. The latter only revealed eosinophilia of 3.1%, while the former confirmed the presence of a cystic mass with a diameter of 4.5 cm located in the interventricular septum, protruding into the left ventricular outflow tract and extending to 1 cm below the aortic valve, with associated septal hypokinesia, and without continuity with the cardiac chambers. A bicuspid aortic valve with moderate aortic regurgitation and a dilated ascending aorta were also observed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the mass to be hyperintense in T2, revealed moderate aortic regurgitation and confirmed the other echocardiographic findings (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Figure 1</a>). The patient was asymptomatic.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">He was then referred for cardiac surgery evaluation, and underwent a new TTE in our hospital, which confirmed the previous findings.

The ascending proximal aorta and the aortic root (noncoronary sinus) were replaced with a 28 mm Gelseal<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span> graft by a modified Bentall procedure. There were no complications during surgery. The postoperative echocardiogram showed that the inferior part of the septum was thin and dyskinetic, but there were no other abnormalities.
