Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum.
Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is a benign disorder that is characterized by the fat deposition in the interatrial septum. It typically occurs in elderly, obese patients and may cause arrhythmia. We report a case in which lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum was found incidentally.
