Key result
Surgical resection successfully treats a primary right-atrial lipoblastoma with COL1A2::PLAG1 gene fusion in a 3-year-old boy.
Reports a rare case of a successfully resected primary cardiac right-atrial lipoblastoma with COL1A2::PLAG1 gene fusion in a pediatric patient.
Alerts clinicians to rare pediatric cardiac masses without altering practice; leaves open optimal surveillance after molecularly defined resections.
Lipoblastoma is a rare neoplasm of the embryonal white fat. It occurs most commonly in children under the age of 3 years and usually inflicts the superficial soft tissues of trunk and extremities. We present the case of a 3-year-old male patient with a successfully resected primary cardiac right-atrial lipoblastoma with COL1A2::PLAG1 gene fusion.
