Right Atrial Lipoma Resection And Partial Reconstruction Using Bovine Pericardium [ressecção De Um Lipoma De átrio Direito E Reconstrução Parcial Com Pericárdio Bovino]
The primary heart tumors have an incidence varying from 0.001% to 0.28% of all tumors, reported in necropsies series. Lipoma consists of a benign tumour corresponding to about 8% of all primary heart tumors. When present, the symptoms are related to the size and location of such tumor. We report a case of a 27-year-old man with a lipoma in the right atrium who underwent surgical treatment with tumor resection and partial reconstruction of the right atrium using bovine pericardium.242239241Silveira, W.L., Nery, W.M., Soares, E.C.G., Leite, A.F., Nazzetta, H., Batista, M.A.L., Lipoma de átrio direito (2001) Arq Bras Cardiol, 77 (4), pp. 361-4Heath, D., Pathology of cardiac tumors (1968) Am J Cardiol., 21 (3), pp. 315-27Fernandes, F., Soufen, H.N., Lanni, B.M., Arteaga, E., Ramires, F.J.A., Mady, C., Neoplasias primárias do coração.
