Right Ventricular Lipomatous Mass and Biventricular Multifocal Fat in a Young Woman: A Case Report

Abstract

Cardiac lipoma is a rare neoplasm of encapsulated mature adult adipose tissue. It is usually asymptomatic, but it may be related to hemodynamic obstruction depending on its location. We report a typical case of right ventricular lipomatous mass and multifocal fat infiltration of both ventricles, which were detected incidentally in a young woman.
