Abstract
We report a case of giant extracavitary cardiac lipoma weighing 4,800 g. The mode of presentation, the preoperative evaluation, and the radi ographic features are presented. The surgical management of this very rare cardiac pathology is discussed. This is one of the largest cardia c tumors ever reported.
