Key result
Lipomatous hypertrophy is an uncommon, generally asymptomatic benign atrial lesion characterized by unencapsulated adipose tissue accumulation that often emerges as an incidental finding.
Why the study?
Lipomatous hypertrophy is an uncommon benign lesion of the atrium that is generally asymptomatic, unnoticed, and often emerges as an occasional finding.
Lipomatous hypertrophy of the atrium is a rare, generally asymptomatic benign lesion that is often discovered incidentally.
Awareness prevents misdiagnosis as malignancy in incidental atrial masses; leaves open need for prospective data on natural history.
Lipomatous hypertrophy is an uncommon benign lesion of the atrium, generally asymptomatic, characterized by unencapsulated accumulation of adipose tissue entrapping cardiomyocytes. This pathology generally remains unnoticed and often emerges as an occasional finding. Here, we report two cases from our hospital including a review of the available literature.
