Abstract: Ressecção de um lipoma de átrio direito e reconstrução parcial com pericárdio bovinoRight atrial lipoma resection and partial reconstruction using bovine pericardium AbstractThe primary heart tumors have an incidence varying from 0.001% to 0.28% of all tumors, reported in necropsies series. Lipoma consists of a benign tumour corresponding to about 8% of all primary heart tumors. When present, the symptoms are related to the size and location of such tumor.
