We report the noninvasive imaging diagnosis of a massive right atrial lipoma in a young male patient. Echocardiography and myocardial contrast echocardiography were used to assess echo intensity, tumor size, anatomic boundary, hemodynamics, and contrast agent perfusion. Dual-source CT revealed that the CT value of the tumor was fat density.

Article Synopsis
- Primary cardiac tumors (PCTs) like myxomas and lipomas are rare, with lipomas being soft fat masses that can lead to diagnostic challenges.
- Lipomatous hypertrophy of the atrial septum (LHAS) is a benign condition linked to aging and obesity, distinct from true cardiac lipomas.
- A case of a true atrial septal lipoma discovered during heart dissection is detailed, highlighting its potential effects on heart function and contributing to the scarce literature on benign primary cardiac tumors.

Article Synopsis
- A cardiac lipoma is a rare, non-cancerous tumor found in the heart that can affect how the heart works.
- In this case, a 35-year-old man had a tumor that grew both inside and outside his right atrium, which was discovered through imaging tests.
- He had surgery to remove the tumor, and doctors confirmed it was a lipoma, with no problems found during a check-up three months later.
