چکیده
Atypical lipomatous tumors, so-called well differentiated liposarcomas are the intermediate or locally aggressive form of adipocytic tumors. Mediastinum is an uncommon localization for these tumors and they have a potential risk of recurrence following excision. We herein report a case with a giant atypical lipomatous tumor located at the mediastinum that was surgically excised. The patient is free of recurrence and asymptomatic at postoperative 17 months. Surgery remains as the treatment of choice for mediastinal liposarcomas.

متن کاملAn atypical lipomatous tumor mimicking a giant fibrovascular polyp of the hypopharynx
RATIONALE Giant fibrovascular polyps (GFVPs) found in the hypopharynx are exceedingly rare. These are benign tumors which are identified by CT or MRI and usually treated based on symptoms. Even more rarely, pathology may identify one of these masses as an atypical lipomatous tumor (ALT). This paper will present a case of an ALT of the hypopharynx that was originally classified as a GFVP, highli...
متن کاملRare Lipomatous Tumor of the Posterior Mediastinum in Children
The mediastinum is a unique anatomic area containing various structures and pluripotent cells, which allow for the development of a range of tumors. We report two pediatric cases of a lipomatous tumor of the posterior mediastinum. Complete surgical excision of the mass in each was achieved through a lateral thoracotomy. Histopathologic findings showed a lipoma in one case and a lipoblastoma in ...
متن کاملPosterolateral thoracotomy Approach for an Ectopic Mediastinum Thymoma: A Case Report
Thymic epithelial neoplasms are commonly aetiology of the anterior mediastinum masses in adults. It represents 20–30% of all mediastinal tumours in adults. Ectopic thymomas usually affect the neck, mediastinal compartments, lung, and pleura, arising from aberrant thymic tissue. For giant thymoma, there is still no consensus on the surgical approach. We herein report a patient with a giant thym...
