    Left ventricular fibroma is a rare benign tumour of the heart. We present the case of a 24-year-old man with left hemiplegia and bilateral popliteal artery occlusion associated with left ventricular mass. The patient underwent successful excision of a pedunculated mass attached to the trabeculae of left ventricular cavity. Histopathologic examination confirmed the presence of fibroma associated with septic thrombus. The association of fibroma and embolization is rare.
