Rationale:
Cardiac lipoma is a kind of extremely rare benign tumor. Lipomas can be located in various parts of the pericardium and heart, among which the pericardial lipoma is relatively rare.
Patient Concerns:
We report the case of a 59-year-old male with extremely rare cardiac lipoma. The patient was admitted to the hospital because of palpitation and dyspnea for more than one month. Echocardiography examination and the pathological results indicated lipoma.
Diagnoses:
Diagnosed with lipoma.
Interventions:
The patient underwent cardiac lipoma resection successfully.
Outcomes:
There was no obvious cardiac abnormality in the follow-up three months after the surgery.
Lessons:
Echocardiography is of great significance for preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up.
