A 66-year-old woman underwent evaluation for a suspected left ventricular (LV) mass identified on echocardiography. Subsequent coronary angiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a benign fibromuscular structure commonly known as a false tendon extending from the posteromedial papillary muscle to the interventricular septum, accompanied by localized fibrosis. [1, 2, 8] This case highlights the diagnostic value of advanced imaging in differentiating anatomical variants from pathological masses, thereby guiding appropriate clinical management.
