Abstract
Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIS) is a benign non-neoplastic cardiac lesion that previously has not been readily described, but with the increasing usage of computed tomography and echocardiography, this is now becoming a more well-characterized incidental finding. This case highlights an incidental finding of LHIS while a patient was undergoing treatment for a routine gastrointestinal bleed.
