Marked lipomatous hypertrophy of the interventricular septum protruding into the right ventricular cavity in an asymptomatic female– a case report

Abstract

Cardiac Lipomas, accounting for 10% of primary benign cardiac tumours are usually asymptomatic, although they can sometimes be associated with a plethora of manifestations. Our patient was a 16 year old asymptomatic female with marked lipomatous hypertrophy of the interventricular septum protruding into the right ventricle, diagnosed incidentally during the ECHO evaluation for a haemic systolic murmur.
