Key result
Cardiac magnetic resonance successfully characterized a right atrial mass as a benign intracardiac lipoma, which was confirmed by surgical excision and histology.
Case Report (n=1)
CMR provides strong diagnostic features for intracardiac lipomas, allowing for high diagnostic certainty prior to surgical excision.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
CMR may aid noninvasive characterization of intracardiac masses; leaves open whether imaging alone suffices without histologic confirmation.
Wijesurendra et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Cardiac lipoma (n=1). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and surgical excision was evaluated. Cardiac magnetic resonance successfully characterized a right atrial mass as a benign intracardiac lipoma, which was confirmed by surgical excision and histology.
