| Abstrakt: | Abstract: Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIS) is a benign anomaly with low prevalence. Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is asymptomatic in most of the cases and rarely leads to atrial arrhythmias, obstructive flow symptoms, or sudden death. It is mostly diagnosed as an incidental finding in cross-sectional imaging and echocardiography, and increased 18F-FDG uptake on LHIS has been described. We present a case of repeated increased 18F-PSMA uptake in LHIS. Although very rare, familiarity with the typical features and prevalence of LHIS in PET/CT can avoid misinterpretation for metastatic disease.
