A Case of Asymptomatic Cardiac Lipoma and Literature Review
1Department of Internal Medicine, Norwalk Hospital, Norwalk, Connecticut, USA.
Abstract:
Primary cardiac tumours are a rare occurrence, of which lipomas comprise approximately 8%. Although mostly asymptomatic, cardiac lipomas can lead to lethal arrhythmias and significant left ventricular outflow obstruction. We present a case of an asymptomatic left ventricular lipoma managed by surgical resection and discuss diagnostic modalities and management options. Our case exemplifies how prompt surgical resection is a reasonable and safe approach in select patients even if they are asymptomatic.
