Key result
Surgical resection using cardiopulmonary bypass successfully excised a very rare right atrial cardiac hibernoma in a 64-year-old patient, with histology confirming a benign diagnosis.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the successful surgical resection of a rare right atrial cardiac hibernoma using cardiopulmonary bypass.
Multimodality imaging aids differentiation of rare right atrial hibernomas; leaves open standardized treatment approaches.
Cardiac lipomas are rare tumors often detected incidentally during routine examinations. They usually remain asymptomatic for a long time and cause arrhythmia, heart valve dysfunction, or embolization in the later stages. In this article, we report a case of a 64-year-old patient with a very rare cardiac hibernoma located in the right atrium. Transesophageal echocardiography and computed tomography have been shown to be useful for differentiating between benign and malignant tumors in order to plan surgery. The treatment of choice for these tumors is resection. The tumor was excised with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Histology confirmed diagnosis of a benign cardiac hibernoma.

Strecker et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Cardiac hibernoma (n=1). Surgical resection with cardiopulmonary bypass was evaluated. Surgical resection using cardiopulmonary bypass successfully excised a very rare right atrial cardiac hibernoma in a 64-year-old patient, with histology confirming a benign diagnosis.
