A CASE OF MULTIPLE CARDIAC LIPOMAS

Primary tumors of the heart are rare. They are not easy to diagnose clinically and differ in regard to clinical manifestations, size, morphology, location, and radiological findings. Of the primary cardiac tumors, benign lipomas are second most common primary neoplasm of heart in adults next to myxomas. Lipomas account for 10 of all cardiac neoplasms and accounts for 14 of benign cardiac tumors and are often asymptomatic but may produce symptoms due to obstruction. Here we report a case of an asymptomatic female who was incidentally found to have mass lesion in the right atrium which was subsequently operated and was found to be lipoma in histopathological analysis.
