Introduction
Thymolipoma is a rare pathological entity that grows slowly and is
benign in nature, predominantly found in the anterior mediastinum. It is
comprised of mature adipose cells and thymic tissue. Thymolipoma
represents a proportion of 2–9% among all thymic neoplasms. (1)
With a slow growth pattern, these tumors are commonly identified when
they generate symptoms of pressure or are incidentally detected during
the assessment of other complaints. (2) Conditions such as chronic
lymphocytic leukemia, myasthenia gravis, aplastic anemia,
hyperthyroidism, and Hodgkin’s disease have been found to be associated
with this tumor. Complete surgical excision remains the preferred choice
for treatment. (1) (1) We hereby present a case of a patient with a
substantial mediastinal mass that was confirmed to be a thymolipoma. The
case was introduced based on the exceptional rarity and monumental size
of a mediastinal mass.
