title: Two- and three-dimensional TEE differentiation of lymphoma involving the atrial septum from lipomatous hypertrophy.
abstract: In this case report we present two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) findings of a patient with lipomatous atrial septal hypertrophy and a patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma with atrial septal involvement. The echocardiographic characteristics that differentiate these two lesions are discussed.
