“…[2] Cardiac lipomas represent about 10% of all cardiac tumors and are thought to originate either from the subendocardium, subpericardium or the myocardium. [3] The majority of the cardiac lipomas are subendocardial or epicardial, and only 25% are found in the myocardium. [1][2][3][4] Clinical presentation usually depends on the size and location of the tumor.…”

ABSTR ACTFatty masses of the heart are relatively uncommon. Herein, we report an extremely rare case of a giant benign epicardial lipomatosis arising from the left ventricle. A 26-year-old female presented with atypical chest pain and easy fatigability for the past six months. Chest X-ray showed an increased cardiothoracic ratio. Echocardiography revealed a large homogenous mass in the pericardial space near the lateral surface of the left ventricle. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the chest showed a large fat-density mass with well-defined margins, arising from the left ventricle. The patient underwent surgical removal of the mass without cardiopulmonary bypass. She recovered well and discharged in the seventh postoperative day.

Cardiac lipomas occur infrequently but account for a significant portion of rare cardiac tumors. Common cutaneous lipomas have previously been associated with rearrangements of chromosome band 12q15, which often disrupt the high‐mobility‐group protein gene HMGIC. In this report, we describe the cytogenetic analysis of an unusual giant cardiac lipoma that exhibited myocardial invasion in a patient with a history of multiple lipomatosis (cutaneous lipoma, lipomatous gynecomastia, lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum, and dyslipidemia). Cytogenetic studies of cells derived from the cardiac lipoma demonstrated no abnormalities of chromosome 12, but did reveal a t(2;19)(p13;p13.2). A liposarcoma‐derived oncogene (p115‐RhoGEF) previously mapped to chromosome 19 and the low‐density lipoprotein receptor gene (LDLR) previously mapped to chromosome band 19p13 were evaluated to determine whether they were disrupted by this translocation. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analyses assigned p115‐RhoGEF to chromosome 19 in bands q13.2–q13.3 and mapped the LDLR to chromosome arm 19p in segment 13.2, but centromeric to the t(2;19) breakpoint. Thus, these genes are unlikely to be involved in the t(2;19)(p13;p13.2). Further studies of the regions of chromosomes 2 and 19 perturbed by the translocation in this unusual infiltrating cardiac lipoma will identify gene(s) that participate in adipocyte growth and differentiation and may provide insight into syndromes of multiple lipomatosis.

Clinical presentations, diagnosis, and management of arrhythmias associated with cardiac tumors

Cardiac tumors are a rare cause of arrhythmias in clinical practice. They can cause a broad spectrum of arrhythmias, from low‐grade ectopics to incessant ventricular tachycardias, including sudden cardiac arrest. Both primary and secondary cardiac tumors can produce arrhythmias, but not all tumors cause arrhythmias. Although cardiac tumors can cause arrhythmias in fetuses and older adults alike, only specific cardiac tumors are the underlying cause of arrhythmia in different age groups. This article reviews various cardiac tumors that are associated with arrhythmias, their clinical presentations, diagnostic features, and management.
