title: Cardiac lipofibromatosis.
abstract: We present a case of cardiac lipofibromatosis associated with atrial fibrillation and complete heart block requiring permanent pacemaker implantation. Multimodality cardiac imaging including transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance were useful for tissue characterization of this rare cardiac diagnosis.
