This case report details a rare pleomorphic thymolipoma, a benign mediastinal tumor. Surgical resection was successful in treating this unusual thymic neoplasm.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic surgery
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Thymolipoma is a rare, benign mediastinal tumor, accounting for 2-9% of thymic neoplasms.
  • Typical presentations are uncommon, often leading to delayed diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old male presented with 4 months of fatigue and effort intolerance.
  • Chest CT revealed an anterior mediastinal lipomatous mass with bilateral hemithoraces involvement and lung atelectasis.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection via midline sternotomy was performed.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed a pleomorphic thymolipoma.
  • Postoperative ventilation was required for 3 days.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering rare thymic neoplasms in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal masses.
