    Fibrolipomas are benign variants of lipomas. Although, lipomas are common benign tumors of soft tissue, intrathoracic lipomas especially fibrolipomas are very rare. They usually presents as a sharply delineated mass with a thin capsule/septation. The patients are commonly asymptomatic. Fibrolipomas are determined on chest radiograph incidentally. A radiography only showed the mass and location. Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) usually reveal characteristic findings of lipomatous mass, that is helpful for diagnosis (1). We report an asymptomatic patient with a pedunculated huge intrathoracic fibrolipoma and its radiological findings. A 45-year-old woman presented to clinic of Chest Disease with desire of check-up because of her age. The patient had no complaints. Her medical history was unremarkable. She was non-smoker, was not on medication. Physical examination revealed a normal blood pressure and pulse. The expansion of the thorax was symmetric. But, breath sounds were absent on the base of right hemithorax and there was dullness on percussion. The results of routine laboratory tests including arterial blood gas analysis were normal. A chest radiograph revealed opacification of the lower part of the right hemithorax because of a well defined enormous mass (Figure 1). Thorax CT was performed to examine the origin of the mass (Figure 2).
