Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is a benign but less recognized pathology of the heart caused by benign fatty infiltration of the interatrial septum which most often spares the fossa ovalis. We share images of the incidentally detected fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the interatrial septum during the restaging of 18F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan of cervical cancer.
