Özet

Being rare tumors of the heart, cardiac lipomas are usually discovered incidentally during non-cardiac-related examinations of the chest. Although they are reported to be typically solitary, multiplicity has been described in tuberosclerosis patients. Here we reported the multidedector-row computer tomography (MDCT) findings of a nontuberosclerosis case with multiple cardiac lipomas along with pericardial lipomatosis, who presented with symptoms of left heart failure after a histerectomy surgery but otherwise healthy before that operation.
