Epipericardial fat necrosis (EPFN) is a relatively rare cause of acute chest pain, with only five pediatric cases having been reported in the English-language medical literature to date. EPFN can be diagnosed based on the clinical symptoms of acute pleuritic chest pain and classic CT features of typically ovoid fatty lesions surrounded by a rim or capsule in the mediastinal or pericardial areas. Previous studies have reported that contrast-enhanced MRI can detect typical fat signal changes in adults with EPFN. We report a pediatric EPFN case diagnosed using gadolinium-enhanced MRI. Thus, contrast-enhanced MRI may be used to confirm EPFN in the differential diagnoses of the causes of acute chest pain.
