Abstract

Cardiac lipoma (especially on the aortic valve) is extremely rare. We report a patient suffering from shortness of breath, chest pain, and recent presyncopal episodes who was found to have a mass on the aortic valve with mild aortic regurgitation. The patient had an uneventful aortic valve replacement.
