“…Some have reported thoracoscopic techniques, though sternotomy was still needed (3,4). Other approaches such as by ventriculotomy have also been described, though we deem this approach high risk due to weakening of the ventricular wall and possible lesion of the coronary arteries (5).…”

Background: Left ventricle (LV) lipoma is a very rare, benign cardiac tumor. Due to its rarity, LV lipoma is often misdiagnosed. Aspecific symptoms such as murmurs, arrhythmias, memory loss and palpitation may occur due to the mass effect. Case presentation: We report a case report of a 42 year old woman who was found to have left ventricle mass after check-up for arrhytmia. By a fully endoscopic approach, the mass was successfully resected from the left ventricle without the need for sternotomy. Conclusion: Total endoscopic removal of left ventricle lipoma’s can be done safely and has several advantages to conventional sternotomy. Larger studies are needed to confirm this hypothesis.

“…Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) can provide detailed insight regarding the size, shape, location, activity, and secondary hemodynamic changes associated with a given tumor ( 5 ). As TTE is non-invasive, repeatable, and does not expose patients to any radiation, it is the imaging modality of choice.…”

Cardiac lipomas are rare primary cardiac tumors that are often only detected incidentally during other examinations. Lipomas of the right atrium are particularly rare. In this report, we describe the case of a patient presenting with a mixed cystic-solid lipoma in the right atrium. The symptoms, imaging findings, and treatment strategies associated with this case are discussed herein. This 65-year-old female patient reported to our hospital due to exertional chest tightness, shortness of breath, and occasional chest pain for over 1 year. She subsequently underwent transthoracic echocardiography and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, both of which revealed a cystic-solid mass in the right atrium. The transthoracic computed tomography scan showed a dense patchy shadow in the right atrium. The mass was completely excised from the atrial septum, and subsequent histopathological examination confirmed its identity as a lipoma. Surgical resection remains the primary treatment approach for cardiac lipomas, and multimodal imaging is of key importance for the diagnosis and follow-up monitoring of affected patients.

“…Although the thoracic area is a rare location for lipomas, there have been several reports on it. Endobronchial lipoma [ 14 ], diaphragmatic lipoma [ 15 ], intramuscular lipoma [ 5 ], pleural lipoma [ 2 , 3 ], and intracardiac lipoma [ 1 , 16 ] are those that were reported. To our knowledge, a chest wall lipoma growing into the pleural cavity like in this case is extremely rare.…”

Background Several cases of lipoma in unusual locations in the thorax have been reported. Appropriate surgical treatment depending on the location and shape is often required. Case presentation We herein report an extremely rare case of a chest wall lipoma growing into the pleural cavity. The tumor was successfully removed without damaging the capsule by a combination of direct and thoracoscopic approaches. Conclusions Chest wall lipomas growing into pleural cavity can be successfully treated by a combination of direct and thoracoscopic approaches.
