“…However, sometimes it can cause atrial arrhythmias or, rarely, superior vena cava compression. Surgery is indicated if there are signs of superior vena cava syndrome, or if there are severe intractable arrhythmias [13][14][15].…”

A cardiac lesion detected at ultrasonography might turn out to be a normal structure, a benign tumor or rarely a malignancy, and lesion characterization is very important to appropriately manage the lesion itself. The exact relationship of the mass with coronary arteries and the knowledge of possible concomitant coronary artery disease are necessary preoperative information. Moreover, the increasingly performed coronary CT angiography to evaluate non-invasively coronary artery disease leads to a rising number of incidental findings. Therefore, CT and MRI are frequently performed imaging modalities when echocardiography is deemed insufficient to evaluate a lesion. A brief comprehensive overview about diagnostic radiological imaging and the clinical background of cardiac masses and pseudomasses is reported.

Lipomatous atrial septal hypertrophy (LASH) is a histological cardiac benign lesion finding with high prevalence in healthy population, usually detected during imaging procedures for other indications. Nevertheless, it could become clinically significant if it compromises venous return and diastolic left ventricular filling, up to becoming an anatomical substrate for atrial tachyarrhythmias. We present a case of LASH diagnosed in a 54-year-old female patient admitted to our emergency department after ground fall and collateral finding of positive blood cultures leading to transesophageal echocardiography. A giant mass involving the interatrial septum was observed, in the absence of primitive neoplasia evidence after performing a total-body computed tomography scan and abdominal echography. No signs or symptoms of pulmonary venous congestion were observed, and no relevant tachyarrhythmias were detected at continuous electrocardiogram monitoring during the hospitalization period.
