Cardiac masses are rare entities that present with a very varied spectrum of manifestations ranging from asymptomatic to severe hemodynamic compromise. They mainly correspond to benign neoplastic lesions; however, other pathologies may occur. The availability of high-definition imaging techniques has increased early detection. Nevertheless, these techniques do not allow the characterization and reliable differentiation of the nature of the mass. We describe a patient with no cardiovascular history with a chronic dyspnea, in whom the presence of a cardiac mass attached to the ventricle with slight deformation of the right cavities was identified by imaging studies. The patient underwent surgical resection, which confirmed the presence of lipoma by histopathology. This finding is the rarest of all benign cardiac tumors.
