Key result
Surgical resection successfully manages rare pediatric cardiac myxolipoma with an expected benign course.
Why the study?
The rarity of cardiac myxolipoma in children limits large studies on its diagnosis and management.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Case report
Highlights surgical management for rare pediatric cardiac myxolipoma; leaves open long-term outcomes in larger cohorts.
We present a case of a rare tumor, a myxolipoma, appearing in a 5-year-old child, along with the imaging evaluation and surgical management. The natural history is expected to be that of a benign lesion, but the rarity precludes large studies.

Yohannan et al. (2012) studied this question. Cardiac myxolipoma in a 5-year-old child was evaluated via imaging and treated with surgical management, representing a rare tumor expected to have a benign natural history.
