Background:

Lipothymoma is a rare mediastinal tumor.
It is often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally.

Observation:

Two cases of asymptomatic lipothymoma were identified during routine chest roentgenograms.
These incidental findings prompted a review of existing literature.

Findings:

A comprehensive review of 30 documented English literature cases of lipothymoma was conducted.
Key clinicopathological features of this rare entity were summarized and discussed.

Implications:

Increased awareness of lipothymoma aids in early diagnosis.
Understanding its characteristics is crucial for appropriate patient management.
Further research may elucidate optimal treatment strategies for lipothymoma.
