We report a case of a 70‐year‐old woman admitted with symptoms of decompensated heart
failure. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial
septum with partial upper right atrial inflow obstruction, partial obstruction of the right
ventricular outflow tract, and excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in the pericardial
space. The patient underwent excision of the septal lipomatous mass, which relieved the
right ventricular outflow obstruction.(J Card Surg 2010; 25: 171‐174)
