Case Rep Pathol. 2019 Jul 14:2019:8613724. doi: 10.1155/2019/8613724. eCollection 2019.

Abstract

Lipomatous hypertrophy is an uncommon benign lesion of the atrium, generally asymptomatic, characterized by unencapsulated accumulation of adipose tissue entrapping cardiomyocytes. This pathology generally remains unnoticed and often emerges as an occasional finding. Here, we report two cases from our hospital including a review of the available literature.
