Cardiac lipomas are rare benign tumors commonly found in the right atrium or left ventricle. Patients are usually asymptomatic, and clinical presentation depends on location and adjacent structures impairment. Right ventricle lipomas are scarce in the literature. Moreover, the previous published cases were reported in over 18-year-old patients.
