Healed Epipericardial Fat Pad Necrosis
Imaging findings
A ball of fat with linear calcification along the edge, appearing unchanged on a one-year follow-up. A small, partially calcified vessel (pedicle) is visible passing through the lesion.
Key takeaways
This is considered a healed case of epipericardial fat pad necrosis, where the calcification represents the torsed pedicle of the vessel. Similar findings might also be seen with a torsed lipoma.
