Case in brief
A 34-year-old male presented with acute palpitations and chest tightness. Multimodal imaging revealed a right atrial lipoma, severe left anterior descending artery stenosis, and a myocardial bridge. The patient underwent successful one-stage surgical resection and coronary bypass, with histopathology confirming the benign nature of the lipoma. At one-year follow-up, there was no recurrence of the tumor and cardiac function remained normal.
