Abstract:
In a 1-year-6 month-old girl with asthma, a chest magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intrapericardial lipoma at the site of the transverse sinus behind the great arteries. The tumor compressed the left bronchus and pulmonary artery resulting in the stenosis. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, the tumor was successfully removed. The stenosis of the left bronchus and pulmonary artery were released.
