Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is a relatively common disorder that occasionally presents as cardiac mass. Here, we present a case of extreme lipomatous hypertrophy up to 4 cm in diameter and extending into the epicardium, posterior wall of the right atrium and the atrioventricular sulcus. Diagnosis was confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

Lipomatous Hypertrophy

Abstract Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is a rare, but increasingly recognized, anomalous developmental or neoplastic lesion of the heart. This entity was first described in 1964 at autopsy and is identified before death based on its distinctive characteristics on echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Although it is often asymptomatic, the mass has been associated with supraventricular arrhythmias and sudden death. In rare patients who experience intractable symptoms, surgical excision of the lesion may provide relief. Therefore, lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is of interest to the pathologist when a cardiac mass is received for evaluation or at autopsy when a patient has experienced sudden death from an unknown cause.
