Lipomatous Atrial Septal Hypertrophy, an Unexpected Giant Interatrial Mass: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Lipomatous atrial septal hypertrophy (LASH) is a histological cardiac benign lesion finding with high prevalence in healthy population, usually detected during imaging procedures for other indications. Nevertheless, it could become clinically significant if it compromises venous return and diastolic left ventricular filling, up to becoming an anatomical substrate for atrial tachyarrhythmias. We present a case of LASH diagnosed in a 54-year-old female patient admitted to our emergency department after ground fall and collateral finding of positive blood cultures leading to transesophageal echocardiography. A giant mass involving the interatrial septum was observed, in the absence of primitive neoplasia evidence after performing a total-body computed tomography scan and abdominal echography. No signs or symptoms of pulmonary venous congestion were observed, and no relevant tachyarrhythmias were detected at continuous electrocardiogram monitoring during the hospitalization period.

Lipomatous Hypertrophy of the Interatrial Septum Manifesting as Third Degree Atrioventricular Block.

Project description:A 55-year-old patient was found to have complete heart block during preoperative assessment. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed an interatrial mass suggestive of primary cardiac tumor. Extensive evaluation including intracardiac biopsy and finally open resection revealed lipomatous hypertrophy masquerading as tumor. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Atypical presentation of lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundLipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIAS) is a common finding on transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). Occasionally, the appearance of LHIAS is atypical and multimodality imaging is helpful to make the diagnosis. We present a case of atypical LHIAS to highlight the potential aetiologies for an interatrial septal mass and review features on multimodality imaging that help decrease uncertainty and establish a diagnosis.Case summaryA 64-year-old man with a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease with multiple percutaneous coronary interventions presented to the emergency room with chest pain. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed a homogenous echo-dense, intracardiac mass present within the interatrial septum. Computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the chest showed a homogenous mass similar in radiodensity to extracardiac and pericardial fat. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) confirmed LHIAS by homogenous signal that was nulled on fat suppression images.DiscussionThis case highlights that while most LHIAS has the standard 'dumbbell' appearance on TTE, there are instances where it can appear more like an adherent mass prompting a wider differential. Unenhanced CT of the heart can be used to confirm LHIAS by the presence of low attenuation values for tissue. Alternatively, CMR can be used for tissue characterization and confirmation of LHIAS. Precontrast T2/T1-weighted CMR images with steady-state free precession show high signal intensity in the area of LHIAS and produce a black/hypointense boundary effect between fat and myocardium. A multimodality approach is crucial in arriving at the appropriate diagnosis using the tissue characterization capabilities of CT and CMR.

Multimodality imaging in diagnosing lipomatous atrial septal hypertrophy with atrial septal defect: a case report

Project description:Background Lipomatous atrial septal hypertrophy (LASH) with atrial septal defect (ASD) is a rare congenital anomaly. Although LASH is a histologically benign cardiac lesion characterized by excessive fat deposition in the interatrial septum that spares the fossa ovale, it has been associated with supraventricular arrhythmias or sick sinus syndrome. Application of multimodal imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment of LASH with ASD, and follow-up. Case summary A 68-year-old female patient presented with recurrent chest tightness and palpitation. Multimodal imaging revealed the characterizations of LASH and ASD. Two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography showed a “dumbbell”-shaped involvement of the cephalad and caudal regions with sparing of a single secundum ASD. The septum with a brightness feature is an uncommon condition characterized by the deposition of unencapsulated fat cells in the atrial septum. Real-time four-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography reflected the lipomatous hypertrophy of the atrial septum and an oval-shaped ASD. Cardiac computer tomography angiography later confirmed this finding. The patient achieved a good clinical response with an ASD percutaneous occlusion guided by intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). Conclusion This case demonstrates a LASH combined with ASD. Multimodality imaging can provide an accurate diagnosis and may guide the procedure for precise occlusion.

Symptomatic Bronchogenic Cyst in a Lipomatous Interatrial Septum.

Project description:Intracardiac bronchogenic cysts are extremely rare congenital anomalies that arise during foregut development when the embryologic heart tube and ventral foregut are in close proximity to one another. We report a case of an interatrial septal bronchogenic cyst found on non-contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) in a 66-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with chest pain. Further cardiac investigations, including contrast-enhanced CT angiogram of the heart, transthoracic echocardiogram, and transesophageal echocardiogram, revealed a cystic mass in the lipomatous interatrial septum. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with a bronchogenic cyst of the interatrial septum. No surgical intervention was pursued, as the mass remained stable, and the cardiothoracic surgeon did not recommend excision. This case highlights a rare case of a symptomatic bronchogenic cyst arising in the interatrial septum diagnosed by imaging modalities. Bronchogenic cysts should be included in the differential diagnosis of intracardiac tumors.

A Rare Case of Lipomatous Hypertrophy of the Interventricular Septum.

Project description: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.

Giant Aneurysm of the Interatrial Septum: A Multidisciplinary Approach.

Project description:A 46-year-old woman presented for a routine echocardiogram, which revealed a giant atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) with an atrial septal defect (ASD). We surgically excised the ASA and closed the ASD with a pericardial patch. ASA, although rare, poses embolic risks, thus necessitating closure when associated with shunts. Optimal stroke prevention remains uncertain.
