Key result
Surgical resection of a rare cystic-solid right atrial cardiac lipoma, initially misdiagnosed as a teratoma on imaging, resulted in normal chamber size and appropriate wall motion.
Why the study?
Cardiac lipomas are rare primary cardiac tumors, with lipomas of the right atrium being particularly rare.
Population
A 65-year-old female patient with a right atrial mixed cystic-solid lipoma

This case highlights the distinctive multimodal imaging characteristics of a rare right atrial mixed cystic-solid lipoma and its successful surgical resection.
Chen et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Right atrial cardiac lipoma (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated. Surgical resection of a rare cystic-solid right atrial cardiac lipoma, initially misdiagnosed as a teratoma on imaging, resulted in normal chamber size and appropriate wall motion.
