Multimodality cardiac imaging in the diagnostic approach to chronic dyspnea: a patient with pericardial lipoma.

Cardiac lipomas are rare benign tumors of the heart. They are usually asymptomatic, but when symptoms occur, they are usually nonspecific, so it is necessary to consult an internist, cardiologist or pulmonologist for proper study, identification and treatment. Multimodal images are very useful in these cases.
