Key result
Surgical resection successfully resolves a rare right atrial interdigitating lipoma in a teenage patient.
Why the study?
Cardiac lipomas are rare and frequently asymptomatic, but they are increasingly diagnosed due to advanced imaging modalities.
Case Report (n=1)
Advanced imaging modalities are crucial for the early detection and successful surgical management of rare cardiac masses such as right atrial lipomas.

May prompt lipoma consideration in adolescents with isolated P pulmonale; leaves open optimal management for rare interdigitating atrial tumors.
Kawji et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Cardiac lipoma (n=1). Open heart surgery (tumor resection) was evaluated. Surgical resection successfully treated a rare, large right atrial interdigitating lipoma in a female teenager following diagnosis by echocardiography and MRI.
