Lipoma of the right atrium.
A 66-year-old asymptomatic woman was admitted to our hospital with the diagnosis of a right atrial mass detected on an outside transthoracic echocardiogram and confirmed on transesophageal echocardiography. Physical examination and basal electrocardiogram were normal. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a 3.8 x 2.5 cm echogenic mass in the right atrium. A multislice CT examination demonstrated a right atrial mass with a fat density ranging from -80 to -110 HU. The patient had a successful surgical excision of the mass, and the diagnosis of lipoma was confirmed on histopathological examination.
