Özet

A computed tomography of the chest revealed a homogeneous mass with well-defined borders and density of -100 Hounsfield units, characteristic of adipose tissue at the right posterior mediastinum (Fig 2). A right posterolateral thoracotomy revealed a giant mass on the right paravertebral area which located under the azygos vein (Fig 3). The mass was resected completely, and measured 13 x 6 x 7 cm3 and 950 g (Fig 4). The histopathological diagnosis was lipoma consisting of mature adipose tissue. The patient was discharged after recovery on the 5th day of the surgery. No recurrence was observed radiologically during 6 months of follow-up period
