A Rare Case of Intracardiac Lipoma Arising from the Papillary Muscle

Transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-defined globular mass attached to the anterolateral papillary muscle. The mass was hyperintense on T1 and T2 weighted images with suppression of signal on fat saturated and short tau inversion recovery (STIR) images. This imaging established the diagnosis of cardiac lipoma attached to the anterolateral papillary muscle, Papillary muscle is a very rare location of lipoma, which is rarely reported in the literature.
