Abstract:
We report a case of a cardiac lipoma arising from the free wall of right atrium, which was diagnosed as the presumed source of angina by compressing the right coronary artery in a 54-year-old woman. Surgical excision of the tumor was performed well. She continues to do well for six months without angina.
