Fig 2 (A) Oblique sagittal view cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using dark blood imaging demonstrates the posterior and superior extensions of the tumor compromising the opening of the superior vena cava (SVC)-right atrial (RA) junction. (B) Horizontal long-axis cardiac MRI dark blood with fat-suppressed imaging confirms the histopathologic diagnosis of a lipoma. (RA = right atrium; SVC = superior vena cava.)
