| Popis: |
Primary extrapleural intrathoracic tumors are extremely rare in the pediatric patient. The authors report one observation of intrathoracic subpleural lipoma in five-year-old asymptomatic girl. A thoracic CT-Scan was particularly helpful by demonstrating the homogeneous fatty nature of the mass, the density of-120 Hounsfield Units being specific. This allowed us to limit ourselves to a brief non-invasive diagnostic workup. Complete surgical excision is curative and provides histological certainty about the benign nature of the tumour. It remains the current recommended approach. |
