Cardiac valvular tumors are very infrequent lesions constituting about 10% of the primary cardiac neoplasms. Among the valvular tumors, lipomatous hamartoma represents a very rare and distinct pathological entity. Retrieval of the literature reveals only eight reported cases, and there is lack of information regarding their clinical features. Herein, we describe a patient with a mass on the tricuspid valve detected incidentally and diagnosed to be a "lipomatous hamartoma." To obtain a better understanding of the nature of these unusual lesions, we reviewed the literature and presented their clinicoanatomical characteristics together with diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
心脏瓣膜肿瘤非常罕见，约占原发性心脏肿瘤的 10%。在瓣膜肿瘤中，脂肪瘤性错构瘤是一种非常罕见且独特的病理实体。检索文献仅发现 8 例报道，其临床特征信息缺乏。在此，我们描述了 1 例三尖瓣上偶然发现的肿块患者，诊断为“脂肪瘤性错构瘤”。为了更好地了解这些不常见病变的性质，我们复习了文献，并呈现了它们的临床解剖学特征以及诊断和治疗方法。
