Butterfly-Shaped Epicardial Lipoma of the Heart.

Cardiac tumors are a rare entity with typically unspecific symptoms. We present the case of a 43-year old female patient with epigastric pain and palpitations with a long history of diagnostics prior to discovery of an epicardial mass. The epicardial tumor with arterial vascularization from the left anterior descending artery was resected in a beating heart procedure and was found to be a lipomatous soft tissue tumor.

Objective: Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIS) is a distinct section of epicardial adipose tissue. However, its association with COPD is poorly documented.
Methods: Patients undergoing coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) for clinical indications were recruited retrospectively and screened for LHIS and COPD.
The interaction of lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum with pericardial adipose tissue biomarkers by computed tomography.

Department of Radiology, Medical University Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria.
Objective: Novel pericardial adipose tissue imaging biomarkers are currently under investigation for cardiovascular risk stratification. However, a specific compartment of the epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIS), is included in the pericardial fat volume (PCFV) quantification software. Our aim was to evaluate LHIS by computed tomography angiography (CTA), to elaborate differences to other pericardial adipose tissue components (EAT) and paracardial adipose tissue (PAT), and to compare CT with [F]FDG-PET.

We present a case of sudden cardiac death in a 65-year-old patient who came to the emergency room with shortness of breath. The gross examination of the heart was significant for extensive left ventricular lipomatosis in association with myocardial fibrosis. Microscopic examination revealed extensive fatty replacement of the myocardial tissue throughout the entire thickness of the ventricular wall (transmural lipomatous myocardial remodeling).

Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIS) is a histologically benign cardiac lesion that is defined by excessive fat accumulation in the area of the interatrial septum (IAS) that does not include the fossa ovalis. Another unusual illness is lipomatosis, which is defined as a broad overgrowth of mature adipose tissue that involves a large portion of an extremity or trunk. We describe a rare case with significant LHIS accompanied by subcutaneous lipomatosis.
