“…These similarly presenting masses include germ cell neoplasms, thymolipomas, lip sarcomas, end bronchial hamartoma, and teratoma [25]. Due to the slowgrowing and commonly asymptomatic nature of pleural lipomas, their management strategy is debated and dependent on age, tumour size, and symptoms [26]. Many authors recommend, when possible, surgical excision for improved therapeutic and diagnostic Volume 8; Issue 01 Ann Case Rep, an open access journal ISSN: 2574-7754 outcomes [5,9].…”

Pleural lipomas are extremely rare benign, slow-growing tumours of mesenchymal parietal pleura origin with the capacity to extend into sub pleural, pleural or extra pleural spaces. They present with a myriad of mild to severe compressiverelated symptoms. Diagnosis can be made via CT, but histopathological intervention is required if the mass exhibits fibrous stroma or dystrophic ring-type calcifications to differentiate between similarly presenting fat-containing intrathoracic masses diagnostically. Watchful waiting and clinical and radiological follow-up are appropriate for those with small and asymptomatic lesions, the elderly, and populations unsuitable for surgical resection. However, surgical resection via thoracotomy has good outcomes and should be considered for diagnostic and therapeutic benefit to those with symptomatic pleural lipoma. Due to the rare occurrence of pleural lipoma, they have only been reported sporadically in the literature. As a result, it is important to report every identified case of pleural lipomas to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient health outcomes. Therefore, we report a case of a pleural lipoma on a chest radiograph (CXR) in a 28-year-old female presenting with localised right chest discomfort.

Liposarkomlar ise geniş fibröz septalar ve düzensiz sınırları sebebiyle sıklıkla T1 ağırlıklı sekanslarda lipomların göstermediği önemli fokal hipoatenüasyon alanları gösterir (7).…”

Plevral lipomlar, parietal plevranın submezotelyal tabakasından köken alan, benign, yavaş büyüme gösteren ve genellikle soliter yumuşak doku tümörleridir. Sıklıkla asemptomatik olup radyografide insidental olarak saptanırlar. Akciğer grafisinde yumuşak doku dansitesinde görülürler. Burada akciğer grafisinde insidental saptanan plevral lipom olgusu tanısal radyolojik özellikleriyle sunulmakta, ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmesi gereken hastalıklar tartışılmaktadır. Tanı genellikle radyolojik olarak konmaktadır. Şüpheli olgularda transtorasik ya da cerrahi biyopsi uygulanabilir.

“…The intrathoracic pleural lipomas are exceptionally rare, which are usually located at the mediastinum, bronchial tree and pulmonary levels [1] . Few cases have been reported worldwide [2] . While typically asymptomatic, pleural lipomas may cause symptoms such as dyspnoea, nonproductive cough, chest pain, and dysphagia if they compress adjacent structures [3,4,5] .…”

BackgroundLipomas arising from the intrathoracic pleura are exceedingly 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 intrathoracic lipoma that arose from the mediastinal pleura of the left pericardium. Here the tumor was completely resected by uniportal video assisted thoracic surgery. Case presentationA 64-year-old female presented with a symptomatic left chest pain, which was confirmed to be an lipomatous tumor using computed tomography. An oval extrapericardial lipoma originating from the mediastinal pleura was resected through uniportal video assisted thoracic surgery. Pathological examination indicated a diagnosis of pleura lipoma. ConclusionThe tumor was infectious and relatively hyperemia when detected during a medical checkup. We enabled the successful tumor excision via uniportal video assisted thoracic surgery approach. Extratumoral haemorrhage was confirmed during the operation. Although intrathoracic pleural lipomas are histologically benign, careful observation and follow-up are crucial due to the possibility of recurrence.
