Cardiac lipomas are extremely rare in the heart diseases and only few present with a wide spectrum of clinical signs, including life-threatening arrhythmias and sudden death. We report a 48-year-old woman who with a 2-year history of recurrent dyspnea with mild anemia was admitted to our hospital as a huge mass was found in her mediastinum. After complete surgical tumor resection, she was recurred at the fifth year. This case underlines the giant cardiac lipomas had a slightly higher risk of recurrence over the next five years.
