Invasive Cardiac Lipoma: a case report and review of literature.

Cardiac lipomas are well-characterized on cardiac MRI, which is the diagnostic modality of choice. Typical locations are the right atrium and the left ventricle. However, in those with atypical features such as invasion of the coronary sinus, pre-operative biopsy for histopathologic confirmation is imperative to exclude well-differentiated liposarcoma. Our patient with a simple lipoma underwent partial resection to relieve symptoms. We discuss prognosis and treatment of symptomatic cardiac lipomas.
