Abstract

İnteratriyal septumun lipomatöz hipertrofisi, interatriyal septumda yağ birikmesiyle karakterize benign bir durumdur. Sıklıkla atriyal kitlelerle karıştırılır ve obezite, steroid kullanımı gibi durumlarla ilişkilendirilebilir. Bu vaka sunumunda, 81 yaşında, nefrolitiazis öyküsü olan bir erkek hastada, rastlantısal olarak tespit edilen ve semptomsuz interatriyal septumun lipomatöz hipertrofisinin bilgisa-yarlı tomografi bulgularını sunacağız. Hastaya yapılan BT görüntülemede interatriyal septumda nodüler kalınlaşma tespit edildi. Hastanın orta derece kardiomegali dışında, kardiyak kitle ile ilişkili herhangi bir semptomu yoktu. İnteratriyal septumun lipomatöz hipertrofisi genellikle semptomsuzdur ancak nadiren kardiyak semptomlara ve aritmilere neden olabilir. Ayırıcı tanı diğer kardiyak kitleleri içerir. Gereksiz cerrahiyi önlemek ve uygun hasta yönetimini sağlamak için doğru tanı konulması hayati öneme sahiptir. Tanıda ekokardiyografi, kardiyak BT ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) gibi çeşitli yöntemleri içerir; BT ve MRG, dokunun özelliklerini karakterize etmede özellikle yararlıdır. İnteratriyal septumun lipomatöz hipertrofisinin tanınması ve anlaşılması, doğru tanı konulması ve uygun hasta yönetimini sağlamak için radyologlar için önemlidir.

Abstract

Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is a benign condition characterized by the deposition of fat into the interatrial septum. It is often mistaken for atrial masses and can be associated with conditions such as obesity, and steroid use. In this case presentation, we describe the computed tomography (CT) findings of an incidentally detected and asymptomatic case of lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum in an 81-year-old male patient with a history of nephrolithiasis. The patient under-went CT imaging, revealing a nodular thickening of the interatrial septum. Despite the presence of moderate cardiomegaly, the patient did not exhibit any symptoms related to the cardiac mass. Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is often asymptomatic but can rarely cause cardiac symptoms and arrhythmias. Differential diagnoses include other cardiac masses. Accurate diagnosis is cru-cial to avoid unnecessary surgery and to provide appropriate management. Diagnostic assessment involves multiple imaging modalities, such as echocardiography, cardiac CT, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, with CT and MRI being particularly useful in characterizing the tissue properties. The recognition and understanding of lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum are important for radiologists to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate patient management.
