Myocardial angiolipoma

Intramyocardial lipomas are rare, making up only one quarter of all cardiac lipomas which constitute less than 9% of all primary cardiac tumours. Vascular cardiac lipomas, corresponding in architecture to angiolipomas of the soft tissues, do not appear to have been reported previously. A case of an asymptomatic intramyocardial angiolipoma is reported in an 86-year-old woman who died of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
