Myocardial metastasis within lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum

Abstract

A 74-year-old lady with lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum presented with symptomatic anemia. Imaging revealed a new diagnosis of metastatic cancer of presumed lung origin, with a new soft tissue myocardial lesion adjacent to the right atrium within the region of lipomatous hypertrophy. This was favored to represent a myocardial metastasis within concurrent lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum.
