Description
Manuela Montatore and nine co-authors show how a quantitative scan measure pins down rare fatty tumors in the heart, in a case series from 2026. These tumors, called lipomas, are harmless but can be hard to tell from other heart masses when they are small or in odd spots.
One case was a forty-seven-year-old woman with a tumor on a small heart muscle. The other was a thirty-one-year-old man with a tumor inside the left ventricle. Standard scans already hinted at fat, but a mapping measure gave very low values that confirmed it. The authors say this measure adds a firm, repeatable check for such cases.
