Key result
Surgical excision and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a giant left ventricular lipoma in a 38-year-old woman after multimodality imaging suggested a lipomatous mass.
Why the study?
Cardiac lipomas originating from the left ventricle are extremely rare and can present with non-specific symptoms or be asymptomatic.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Multimodality cardiac imaging is crucial for the diagnostic workup and characterization of rare intracardiac masses like giant left ventricular lipomas prior to surgical excision.

Supports multimodality imaging for suspected cardiac masses; leaves open optimal management strategies for giant LV lipomas.
Karameh et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Giant Intracardiac Lipoma (n=1). Surgical removal was evaluated. Surgical excision and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a giant left ventricular lipoma in a 38-year-old woman after multimodality imaging suggested a lipomatous mass.
