Abstract
Background: The echocardiography is the first-line imaging modality in detecting the cardiac lipoma. Contrast-enhanced echocardiography improves its structural definition and characteristics of blood supply to exclude thrombus and malignant tumors.
Case presentation: We introduced a case that large cardiac mass involving nearly the whole left ventricular cavity and papillary muscles without any complications. Multimodal imaging has confirmed lipoma before surgery. However, rather than recommending conservative treatment in accordance with guidelines, surgical intervention was performed to prevent future hemodynamic abnormalities.
Conclusion: Combined with multimodal imaging, we showed a rare case on comprehensive evaluation of left ventricular silent lipoma and provided new clues for surgical strategy, which were different from guideline recommendations.
期刊介绍：
Cardiovascular Ultrasound is an online journal, publishing peer-reviewed: original research; authoritative reviews; case reports on challenging and/or unusual diagnostic aspects; and expert opinions on new techniques and technologies. We are particularly interested in articles that include relevant images or video files, which provide an additional dimension to published articles and enhance understanding.
As an open access journal, Cardiovascular Ultrasound ensures high visibility for authors in addition to providing an up-to-date and freely available resource for the community. The journal welcomes discussion, and provides a forum for publishing opinion and debate ranging from biology to engineering to clinical echocardiography, with both speed and versatility.
