Abstract
The case of a patient undergoing successful surgical resection of a huge lipoma of the right atrium is presented. The diagnosis was established preoperatively by magnetic resonance imaging. The tumor was involved intimately with the right coronary artery, and careful identification and dissection were required to preserve the vessel. The tumor was removed successfully, and follow-up at 1 year showed no evidence of recurrence.
