title: Cardiac myxolipoma in a child: diagnosis and surgical management.
abstract: We present a case of a rare tumor, a myxolipoma, appearing in a 5-year-old child, along with the imaging evaluation and surgical management. The natural history is expected to be that of a benign lesion, but the rarity precludes large studies.
