초록
We report a case of young male referred for evaluation of recent onset recurrent syncope. Inhospital electrocardiogram revealed anepisode of ventricular flutter which reverted spontaneously to sinus rhythm. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed hyperechoicmass in the left ventricle. For further tissue characterization a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was done which revealed a leftventricular mass with predominant fat content. The tumor was surgically resected. Histopathological examination confirmed thediagnosis of cardiac fibrolipoma. The patient recovered and is currently asymptomatic.
Abstract
We report a case of young male referred for evaluation of recent onset recurrent syncope.

For further tissue characterization a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was done which revealed a leftventricular mass with predominant fat content. The tumor was surgically resected. Histopathological examination confirmed thediagnosis of cardiac fibrolipoma. The patient recovered and is currently asymptomatic.
