Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum, a finding associated with obesity and advancing age, consists of accumulation of adipose tissue including fetal adipose tissue in the interatrial septum. It is a rare lesion of the heart and can reach notable size. A case is reported in which the diagnosis of lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum was established intraoperatively; the large bulk of the lipoma was such that it required major reconstruction of the interatrial septum and right and left atrial walls.

D009202 Cardiomyopathies A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).

D006332 Cardiomegaly Enlargement of the HEART, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both HEART VENTRICLES or HEART ATRIA. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (HEART FAILURE) or several forms of CARDIOMYOPATHIES.
