Epicardial Lipomatosis as a Cause of Constrictive Pericarditis

open access: yesCase Reports in Cardiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Epicardial lipomatosis is a rare cause of constrictive pericarditis. There is a paucity of literature on the condition, and it is possible that it may be missed in contemporary clinical practice. Herein, we report two patients with epicardial lipomatosis who presented with traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
