We present the case of a patient with a history of exertional dyspnea due to slowly growing epicardiac and paracardiac lipoma. This pathology was found on planar chest X-ray and the diagnosis was confirmed by echocardiography, CT scan and MRI. This patient would normally be followed and managed conservatively only in case of severe dyspnea will she be referred for cardiac surgery.
