Key result
Surgical resection with patch reconstruction and bioprosthetic tricuspid valve placement manages rare invasive septal lipoma.
Why the study?
Lipoma of the interventricular septum involving the tricuspid valve is a rare entity that can lead to serious hemodynamic complications.
Population
A 50-year-old woman with an interventricular septal mass involving the tricuspid valve

Surgical resection is feasible for rare invasive septal lipoma; extends sparse case reports but leaves optimal strategies open.
Case Report (n=1)
Cardiac lipomas, though benign, can cause serious hemodynamic complications and require multimodality imaging for diagnosis and surgical intervention for management.
Nepal et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Invasive Lipoma of the Interventricular Septum (n=1). Surgical resection and reconstruction was evaluated. Surgical resection, bioprosthetic tricuspid valve placement, and patch reconstruction were used to manage a rare invasive lipoma of the interventricular septum.
