Background: Cardiac Lipoma is a rare entity constituting approximately 10-19 % of primary tumors of the heart and pericardium. To our best knowledge, such a large cardiac lipoma with septal enhancement in our case has never been reported before. @@@ Case presentation: Here we present a rare case of a 65-year-old symptomatic female with an unusual giant cardiac lipoma. Due to the enhancement of the tumor septa, it was first diagnosed as liposarcoma and thought to be unresectable. Debulking surgery was performed to release patient's symptoms. @@@ Conclusions: The patient ultimately underwent complete tumor resection with uneventful postoperative evolution. The postoperative pathological diagnosis is cardiac lipoma.
