چکیده

A 70-year-old woman was hospitalized for dyspnea and chest pain. After radiological examinations and bronchoscopy, she was diagnosed with a stage IVsmall-cell carcinoma of the lung. Collaterally, chest CT showed an hypodense pleural sessile mass, with smooth, well defined borders and homogeneous fat attenuation of approximately –100 HU; it showed no enhancement after intravenous contrast material administration (Fig. A). The lesion was suggestive for pleural lipoma. At the next CT examination pleural effusion, due to a primary disease progression, was detected. The mass, floating into pleural effusion, had now a polypoid appearance and was inserted into the parietal pleura with a small pedicle (Fig. B,C).
