title: [Intracardiac lipoma revealed by arrhythmia].
abstract: Cardiac tIssue is a very rare localization for benign lipoma. Interseptal lipoma and lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum are two distinguished entities. We report the case of a 58-year-old patient who developed lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum which was revealed by arrhythmia. Diagnosis was suspected at magnetic resonance imaging and was confirmed intraoperatively and histologically.
