Popis: Prikazan je slučaj bolesnice koja je kirurški liječena zbog većeg intratorakalnog lipoma, a otprije je bolovala od familijarne multiple lipomatoze. Pojavljivanje tih dviju bolesti u jednog bolesnika do sada nije objavljeno. Navedeni su i literaturni podaci o više kliničkih sindroma lipomatoza, a posebno su razmatrani familijarna multipla lipomatoza i multipla simetrična lipomatoza. Uzrok ovih bolesti nije poznat. Lipomi su najčešći benigni tumori u ljudi, dok su intratorakalni lipomi vrlo rijetki. Dijagnoza se postavlja najčešće kompjutoriziranom tomografijom (CT) i biopsijom, a terapija je kirurška. Kirurškom zahvatu pristupa se kada lipom uzrokuje kompresiju na okolne strukture ili je razlog kozmetičke prirode
This paper presents the case of a patient who underwent surgery due to a large intrathoracic lipoma and had previously been diagnosed familial multiple lipomatosis. The occurrence of both diseases in one patient has not been reported yet. The data of several clinical syndromes of lipomatosis are reviewed, with special attention paid to familial multiple lipomatosis and multiple symmetric lipomatosis. The cause of these diseases is unknown. Lipoma is the most common benign human tumour, while intrathoracic lipoma occurs rarely. The diagnosis is usually established by CT and both the biopsy and the treatment are surgical. Surgery is performed when lipoma causes compression on surrounding structures or the reason is of cosmetic nature.
