Abstract

Lipoblastoma is a rare neoplasm of the embryonal white fat. It occurs most commonly in children under the age of 3 years and usually inflicts the superficial soft tissues of trunk and extremities. We present the case of a 3-year-old male patient with a successfully resected primary cardiac right-atrial lipoblastoma with COL1A2::PLAG1 gene fusion.

Keywords: atrium; intracardiac; lipoblastoma; pediatric.
