Key result
Rare lipomatous hypertrophy of the interventricular septum presents with RV outflow obstruction and WPW EKG pattern.
Why the study?
Lipomatous hypertrophy lesions are extremely rare in the interventricular septum.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare presentation of lipomatous hypertrophy located in the interventricular septum causing right ventricular outflow obstruction and a WPW pattern.
Rare septal lipomatous hypertrophy may cause obstruction and WPW; extends phenotypic spectrum but leaves management open.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is an uncommon type of cardiac adipose tumor. It is extremely rare for these lesions to be located in the interventricular septum. METHODS: We report this case of incidentally diagnosed lipomatous hypertrophy of the interventricular septum with right ventricular outflow obstruction which caused minimal symptoms and Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern on EKG. CONCLUSION: We also discuss the diagnosis and management of this condition.
