Primary cardiac tumors are usually found incidentally on imaging and are much less common than tumors that metastasize to the heart. Cardiac lipomas are benign cardiac tumors that are usually found in the right atrium or left ventricle. Primary intravascular venous lipomas of the great cardiac vessels are extremely rare and there are few reported cases of a lipoma originating from the superior vena cava causing direct compressive intracardiac effects. Here we describe a case of a symptomatic right atrial lipoma originating from the superior vena cava.
原发性心脏肿瘤通常是在影像学检查时偶然发现的，比转移至心脏的肿瘤少见得多。心脏脂肪瘤是良性心脏肿瘤，通常见于右心房或左心室。大心血管的原发性血管内静脉脂肪瘤极为罕见，源于上腔静脉并引起直接心脏内压迫效应的脂肪瘤报道病例很少。在此，我们描述一例源于上腔静脉的有症状右心房脂肪瘤病例。
