Key result
Complete resection confirms rare pulmonary valve cardiac lipoblastoma in an infant.
Why the study?
Intracardiac lipoblastoma is an extremely rare benign tumour with limited reported cases, especially involving the pulmonary valve.
Case Report (n=1)
Supports complete resection as feasible for rare infant pulmonary valve lipoblastoma; leaves open recurrence risk and long-term outcomes.
Lipoblastoma is a rare, benign, fatty tissue tumour that occurs in infancy and early childhood. Intrathoracic and mediastinal involvement of this tumour is rare, and an intracardiac location is even rarer. In this study, we report the case of a 15-month-old girl who presented with a tumour in the pulmonary valve. A complete resection of the tumour was undertaken, with a histopathology report confirming the diagnosis of lipoblastoma.
