Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | BMC | Source: | JOURNAL OF CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERY, 16 (1) (Art N° 218) | Abstract: | BackgroundLeft ventricle (LV) lipoma is a very rare, benign cardiac tumor. Due to its rarity, LV lipoma is often misdiagnosed. Aspecific symptoms such as murmurs, arrhythmias, memory loss and palpitation may occur due to the mass effect.Case presentationWe report a case report of a 42 year old woman who was found to have left ventricle mass after check-up for arrhytmia. By a fully endoscopic approach, the mass was successfully resected from the left ventricle without the need for sternotomy.ConclusionTotal endoscopic removal of left ventricle lipoma's can be done safely and has several advantages to conventional sternotomy. Larger studies are needed to confirm this hypothesis. BackgroundLeft ventricle (LV) lipoma is a very rare, benign cardiac tumor. Due to its rarity, LV lipoma is often misdiagnosed.
