We report a case of lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum in a patient who presented with shortness of breath. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a right atrial mass that caused a marked narrowing of the cavoatrial junction. The patient underwent successful resection of the mass with reconstruction of the interatrial septum. Histologic examination demonstrated proliferation of mature fat cells and hypertrophy of cardiac muscle cells consistent with lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum.
我们报告一例患有呼吸急促的房间隔脂肪肥厚患者。经食管超声心动图显示右心房有一肿块,导致腔静脉心房连接明显狭窄。该患者成功切除了肿块并重建了房间隔。组织学检查显示成熟脂肪细胞增生以及心肌细胞肥大,符合房间隔脂肪肥厚的表现。
