Lipomas are common benign tumors most frequently found within the subcutaneous areas of the body. Deep-seated lipomas are rare and tend to be larger than cutaneous ones. Lipomas are rarely seen in the thoracic cavity, and they are usually located in the mediastinum, bronchiole, and lungs. Diaphragmatic lipomas have been occasionally reported in the literature, the first being described by Clark et al. in 1886. The authors report two rare cases of giant diaphragmatic lipoma incidentally found during forensic autopsies. In the first case, a Caucasian 85-year-old woman burned to death with another passenger, after her methane-fueled car collided with another car on a highway near Terni, Umbria, Italy. In the second case, a Caucasian 45-year-old man collapsed while walking through the countryside of Perugia. In either case, a large mass in the thorax was observed. The definitive pathologic diagnosis was giant intrathoracic diaphragmatic lipoma without evidence of malignancy. The authors also review the relevant literature and discuss differential diagnoses. These case reports contribute to the establishment of the actual incidence of diaphragmatic lipomas.

“…Certains auteurs recommandent de le surveiller radiologiquement, lorsqu'il n'infiltre pas le diaphragme [3], alors que d'autres insistent sur la chirurgie vu le risque de dégénérescence ou de méconnaissance d'un liposarcome [3]. Récemment, le développement de la chirurgie mini-invasive par thoracoscopie ou laparoscopie, a permis de prendre en charge convenablement ces tumeurs même lorsqu'elles sont asymptomatiques avec moins de nuisances par rapport à la chirurgie conventionnelle : les cicatrices sont petites et plus esthétiques, les douleurs postopératoires sont minimes et le séjour hospitalier est plus court.…”
