Mitral valve lipomatous hamartoma: a rare entity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 September 2013
Abstract
Lipomatous hamartoma of cardiac valves is a very rare entity, with only three reported cases in children. We describe the case of a 9-year-old girl with a mass in the mitral valve, which was detected in an echocardiogram performed for heart murmur investigation. At surgery, a white round-shaped tumour was removed and histopathological examination revealed a lipomatous hamartoma.
