What are the characteristic CT findings of lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum?
Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum has a characteristic dumbbell-shaped appearance of fat attenuation on CT, which allows for confident diagnosis and differentiation from other cardiac masses.
Meaney et al. (1997) conducted an observational in Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (n=12). CT scan was evaluated on Distribution and morphology of fat within the interatrial septum. CT imaging of lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum revealed a characteristic nonenhancing, smoothly marginated, homogeneous dumbbell-shaped mass of fat attenuation.
