Key result
CMR characterizes an incidental septal mass as a rare cardiac lipoma, allowing conservative management.
Why the study?
Lipomas in the interventricular septum are an unusual pathology with unknown real prevalence, highlighting the importance of cardiovascular imaging for differential diagnosis and guiding therapy.

This case highlights the utility of cardiovascular imaging, particularly cardiac MRI, in diagnosing and characterizing rare interventricular septum lipomas.
Thomé et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Lipoma in the interventricular septum (n=1). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was evaluated on Characterization of cardiac mass. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging successfully characterized an incidentally discovered mass in the interventricular septum as a rare cardiac lipoma, allowing for conservative management.
