Key result
Multimodality imaging demonstrated that a suspected right atrial myxoma in an obese 65-year-old woman was extensive lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum, avoiding unnecessary surgery.

Multimodality imaging is crucial for differentiating lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum from cardiac tumors like myxoma, thereby preventing unnecessary surgical interventions in obese patients.
Lee et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Lipomatous hypertrophy of interatrial septum (n=1). Extensive lipomatous hypertrophy of interatrial septum was evaluated. Multimodality imaging demonstrated that a suspected right atrial myxoma in an obese 65-year-old woman was extensive lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum, avoiding unnecessary surgery.
