“…Approximately 50% of these tumors have a subendocardial origin, 25% have an intramyocardial origin (affecting most frequently the left ventricle, right atrium, and the interatrial septum), and the remaining 25% are of pericardial origin. 5 In our patient, increased right atrial pressure and distension of the right atrium or the probable intramyocardial origin of the tumor could account for the atrial fibrillation. Indications for surgery of cardiac fatty lesions are intractable arrhythmias, valvular dysfunction, inflow or outflow obstruction, a thromboembolic event, and inability to confidently exclude liposarcoma.…”

“…MR is also useful in cases of low-density mediastinal cysts, which computerized tomography may reveal as lipoma. The correct interpretation of nuclear magnetic resonance may require invasive studies or surgery [9].…”

“…Lipomas are rarely encountered tumors of the heart which account for 8.4% of a previously reported study that comprised 533 primary tumors of the heart and pericardium [1,2]. Cardiac lipomas are encapsulated true neoplasms, composed of mature adipose tissue [3].…”

“…With MDCT, in different imaging planes, the exact site and extension of lipomas can be detected on the basis of their densities similar to that of fat attenuation (<0 HU) and distinguished from myxoma and trombus which have higher attenuation (>0 HU) [2,4]. Liposarcoma can be excluded in the differential diagnosis of lipomas because even a well-differentiated liposarcoma has a higher CT HU number [4].…”
