Abstract:
A case of lipomatous hypertrophy of the cardiac interatrial septum is reported in a 91-year-old man who attempted to commit suicide. The lesion was found incidentally at autopsy. Gross examination showed a 3.5-cm mass, yellow and firm. Histologic study showed a proliferation of mature fat cells and slightly hypertrophic cardiac muscle cells.
