Pleural lipoma: report of a case

Lipoma pleural: relato de caso

José Wellington Alves dos Santos, Marília Cechella, Júlio Sarturi, Rodrigo Bortoli

ABSTRACT

The authors report a case of pleural lipoma which was found incidentally in a thoracic roentgenogram. The radiographic studies were inconclusive about the nature of the lesion. The diagnosis was established by histologic study of the tumor excised by thoracotomy, after an inconclusive cytologic study obtained by transthoracic fine needle aspiration.

Keywords: Lipoma. Pleura.
