Abstract:
Mediastinal lipomas are slowly growing tumours. Only very few cases have been reported in children. None of these included a rapidly enlarging lipoma. We present an 8-year-old severely adipose girl with an incidentally diagnosed mediastinal lipoma that showed rapid enlargement within 7 weeks.
