No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Biopsy confirmation may avert unnecessary resection in atypical masses; leaves open natural history and surveillance needs in biventricular lipomatosis.
Nezafati et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Cardiac lipomatosis (n=1). Trans-jugular echomyocardial biopsy was evaluated on Pathological diagnosis. Trans-jugular echomyocardial biopsy confirmed benign fatty infiltration suggestive of benign lipomatous hypertrophy in a 27-year-old female with a large bi-lobed cardiac mass.
