Abstract

A 56-year-old woman with a history of surgical removal of a invasive myocardial lipoma presented with progressive dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation and severely impaired biventricular systolic function. Cardiac computed tomography was performed, showing extensive biventricular basal and mid-myocardial replacement by an infiltrating tumor that had the density of fat resulting in large aneurysms of the basal segments of both the ventricles. The patient is currently awaiting orthotopic heart transplantation.
