Thymolipoma is an infrequent benign, 'slow growing tumor of thymus. The tumor manifests as soft tissue mass in the Anterior Mediastinum, descends and occupies the cardio phrenic space and usually asymptomatic or sometimes due to pressure effect heaviness and chest pain are the complaints. We report a case of thymo lipoma in a 30 years old female complaining of heaviness and constricting type of chest pain of 1 year duration. CT scan findings were a space occupying lesion in the anterior mediastinum. The tumor was completely excised through 'Postero lateral thoracotomy'. Histopathological examination confirms the diagnosis. This is the first case we have reported from our institution.
