Abstract

A left ventricular lipoma was diagnosed in 29-year-old woman who suffered from exertional dyspnea for 3 months. Preoperative diagnosis of a lipoma was possible with MRI which showed 3.3cm sized mass with high signal intensity like subcutaneous fat. Intramuscular lipoma of the left ventricle was confirmed after successful surgical resection.
