We hereby report the first – to the best of our knowledge – case of primary lipoma of the aortic valve. The tumor has been diagnosed by echocardiography supported by magnetic resonance imaging in a 63-year-old man with acute inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and one-vessel coronary artery disease. Five weeks from the onset of STEMI, direct implantation of a bare metal stent into the right coronary artery was successfully undertaken and 6 weeks later aortic valve with an encapsulated mass was excised with subsequent artificial valve implantation. Histological examination revealed typical features of lipoma. Three months after the operation the patient was asymptomatic and exhibited a good function of the artificial valve.
