A Rare Case of Lipomatous Hypertrophy of the Interventricular Septum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Asymmetrical left ventricular hypertrophy secondary to interventricular septum hypertrophy is usually considered a typical phenotype of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In rare cases other conditions such as tumors or lipomatous hypertrophy of the interventricular septum may have a similar presentation. We present a case of a male patient who presented for routine cardiology work up and was diagnosed of having ventricular septal hypertrophy secondary to localized lipomatous hypertrophy.

Metastatic tumors to the heart unlike primary cardiac tumors are not rare. Despite its frequency, cardiac metastasis is commonly detected only during autopsy as the symptoms of disseminated metastasis prevail over symptoms caused by cardiac metastasis and hence is overlooked most of the time. Tumors more commonly found metastasizing to the heart are malignancies of lung, breast, esophagus, lymp...

Lipomatous hypertrophy of interatrial septum (LHIS), usually found in echocardiography, is a rare non-neoplastic disease entity, which may cause arrhythmia or sudden death. We reported a case of LHIS associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which was suspected a hyperechoic intraatrial tumor in transthoracic echocardiography. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed fat infiltration of ...

Background. Lipomatous hypertrophy of the atrial septum (LHAS) is a rare entity characterized by mass-forming deposition of fatty tissue within the atrial septum. To date, <300 cases have been reported; many of them were autopsy findings. The clinical presentation of LHAS varies from incidental asymptomatic mass (most frequent form) to severe life-threatening cardiovascular complications necess...

Lipomatous hypertrophy of the heart is a benign rare tumor characterized by fatty tissue deposits in the interatrial septum. Its diagnosis during life is mostly seen incidental. We report the case of a 74-year-old female patient, in which a cardiac mass protruding in the right atrium was diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography. Transoesophageal echocardiography examination detected an echog...

Fatty masses of the heart are relatively uncommon. This report is about an extremely rare case of cardiac lipomatosis that implicates both ventricles and inter-atrial septum. The patient was a 27-year-old female who was accidentally diagnosed during a routine physical examination. Trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) discovered a large homogenous bi-lobed, non-encapsulated echogenic mass. Magn...
