Abstract:
Lipoma is a common benign neoplasm, but lipoma arising from the pleura is rare; it is composed of mature adipose tissue and occasionally fibrous stroma. The tumor shows characteristic radiographic and CT features of pleural mass, and the lesion is homogeneous and low density, with CT numbers indicating fat. The mass was removed by surgery and confirmed as a lipoma originating from the parietal pleura.
