A 29-year-old woman who presented with persistent ventricular premature beat during her delivery was referred to us. Her cardiac echocardiography showed a giant tumor located in the posterior wall of the left ventricle. She had no symptoms of heart failure.

Periodic echocardiography has showed no growth in this tumor.
