Description
Paisit Kosum and colleagues describe a fatty heart tumor hiding in a spot never before reported: the right atrial appendage. Cardiac lipomas are benign and usually silent, found by accident. Their 2026 case began when a sixty-year-old woman arrived with a pulmonary embolism and scans caught a small moving mass.
Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the lump was fat, consistent with lipoma. It had not caused her embolism, but its mobility in a slow-flow pocket raised fears of blockage and clots. Surgeons removed it through a minimally invasive operation, adjusting cannula plans around the appendage. Tissue examination proved the benign diagnosis.
