Resumen

We present the case of a 56-year-old male patient with a history of atrial flutter that occurred six months prior to admission. He was admitted to the hospital for presenting a mass with a size of 8 cm in the right atrium, which prolapsed through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. Emergency surgery was scheduled, the tumor was excised and tricuspid annuloplasty was performed. The pathological study determined that the removed mass corresponded to a cardiac lipoma.
