Case Report (n=1)
In cases of cardiac lipoma with atypical features such as invasion of the coronary sinus, pre-operative biopsy is imperative to exclude well-differentiated liposarcoma.
D’Souza et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Invasive Cardiac Lipoma (n=1). Partial surgical resection was evaluated on Symptom relief and recovery. Partial surgical resection of an invasive cardiac lipoma extending into the coronary sinus successfully relieved the patient's shortness of breath with an uneventful recovery at 3 months.
