Abstract:
A 36-year-old female with bilateral thyroid cancer was incidentally found to have a 5.6×4.3 cm right ventricular (RV) mass, confirmed by TTE and cardiac CT as a fat-density lesion. Multimodal imaging, including Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE), CT, and CMR, helped diagnose the mass as a cardiac lipoma and guided surgical planning, which successfully removed the tumor and restored RV dimensions. This case highlights the critical role of multimodal imaging in diagnosing and managing rare cardiac tumors.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
