Pericardial lipoma: Ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings

JOURNAL OF MEDICAL IMAGING AND RADIATION ONCOLOGY, Issue 3 2000
Murugasu Puvaneswary
SUMMARY Primary tumours of the heart and pericardium are extremely rare. Cardiac lipomas account for only 10% of all primary cardiac tumours. A case of surgically proven pericardial lipoma demonstrated by ultrasound, CT and MRI is presented here. [source]

Pericardial lipoma in a geriatric dog with an incidentally discovered thoracic mass

JOURNAL OF SMALL ANIMAL PRACTICE, Issue 10 2007
R. Ben-Amotz
An intrathoracic mass was discovered as an incidental finding in a 14-year-old, spayed, female Rottweiler cross during evaluation of urinary incontinence. Computed tomography suggested a pericardial or pleural location and high adipose content of the mass. The mass was removed via lateral thoracotomy with partial pericardectomy and was diagnosed as a pericardial lipoma. The dog recovered well, and there was no evidence of recurrence approximately one year later. Adipose tumours of the heart and its associated structures are rare in dogs and have been associated with both successful and fatal outcomes. [source]
