Abstract:
Cardiac lipomas are extremely rare benign tumors. They usually remain asymptomatic and are detected incidentally. We report an unusual case of a 60-year-old man who presented with a large epicardial lipoma found unexpectedly during coronary artery examinations. Coronary angiography revealed advanced 3-vessel coronary artery disease. We successfully performed simultaneous curative surgery for the large cardiac lipoma and coronary artery bypass grafting. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma; it weighed 450 g and had a stalk connected to the left atrium.
