“…Large lipomas can induce lung compression and displacement of the surrounding structures as observed in our case it was displacing the right lung upwards and the diaphragm and the liver away down. Some authors have even reported compressing effect on the mediastinal structure [7]. Mediastinal lipoma typically grows very slowly, and the presenting symptoms are often related to a direct compression effect.…”

BackgroundThe huge size intrathoracic lipomas are very rare. Few cases have been reported worldwide. To our knowledge, this presented case is one of the few cases reported. Here we report a single case as very huge intrathoracic lipoma compressing the right lung and displacing the diaphragm and liver downward. It has been managed by right posterolateral thoracotomy and complete excision, with excellent outcome.Case presentationA 32-year-old male presented with a symptomatic right intrathoracic mass, which was confirmed to be a lipomatous tumor using computed tomography. A penduculated tumor originating from the mediastinal pleura was resected through the conventional right posterior thoracotomy. Pathological examination indicated a diagnosis of fibrolipoma.ConclusionThe tumor was symptomatic and relatively huge when detected during a medical checkup. This enabled the successful tumor resection via conventional thoracotomy approach. Although intrathoracic lipomas are histologically benign, careful observation and follow-up are crucial due to the possibility of recurrence.

“…The origin is obviously from the mediastinal pleura just above the lung hilum with single wide vascular pedicle. The presence of extensive adhesion could be due to previous drainage procedures [1, 7].…”

“…Symptoms such as dyspnoea and dysphagia might be caused by local compression on neighboring structures such as the trachea or esophagus [ 7 , 8 ]. Certain authors have even suggested that the mediastinal structure can be compressed by giant intrathoracic lipoma [ 9 , 10 ]. They can also cause various problems like chest pain and fever, as well as invading intercostal spaces and causing rib lysis [ 11 , 12 ].…”

Background Unlike subcutaneous lipomas, thoracic cavity lipomas are extremely rare and can develop to be quite large without causing any symptoms. However, managing massive lipoma that involves both chest cavities is usually challenging, especially when considering the approach for excision. Case We report our experience of surgical management of a case of a 46-year-old male with huge intrathoracic lipoma that extends bilaterally and is known to be the largest of such kind. The tumor was resected successfully using median sternotomy. Histological analysis confirmed features of lipoma. Conclusion To remove a bilateral intrathoracic lipoma, various surgical approaches have been documented. In our experience, a median sternotomy allows better exposure, which aids in complete surgical extirpation resulting in the prevention of recurrence.

“…Доброкачественные неэпителиальные опухоли щитовидной железы, в том числе и тиреолипомы, встречаются крайне редко и по своему гистологическому строению не отличаются от одноименных опухолей дру-гих локализаций [1][2][3]. Микроскопически они повторяют строение зрелой жировой ткани, отличаясь некоторым полиморфиз-мом долек и клеток, между которыми встре-чаются так называемые мультиокулярные клетки [4].…”
