Multimodality imaging of tumefactive lipomatous hypertrophy of the right ventricle extending to the right ventricular outflow tract.

Lipomatous hypertrophy of the right ventricle is a rare entity that is usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally in an otherwise healthy individual. Accurate diagnosis and assessment of possible hemodynamic consequences of this pathology is, however, necessary to secure an appropriate treatment. Multimodality imaging with echocardiography, CT, and cardiac MR can provide useful functional and anatomic information that can help to reach this goal.
