Noninvasive tissue characterization: diagnosis of lipomatous hypertrophy of the atrial septum by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging

RA Levine, AE Weyman, RE Dinsmore, J Southern, BR Rosen, DE Guyer, TJ Brady, and RD Okada

An atrial septal mass was identified by echocardiogram in a patient with multiple subcutaneous lipomas. In order to differentiate the benign condition of lipomatous hypertrophy from myxoma, thrombus and other tumors, nuclear magnetic resonance and computed tomographic imaging were performed. Both techniques identified the adipose nature of the tissue noninvasively, consistent with the diagnosis of lipomatous hypertrophy. Pathologically demonstrated lipomatous hypertrophy in a postmortem heart was similarly characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging.
