Abstract
A 62-year-old man complained left lower posterior side chest pain for 3 months. A chest wall tumor was suspected; based on the findings of computed tomography (CT) of the thorax; the CT number of which was -140. CT guided biopsy was performed. However; thnite diagnosis was not obtained. A resection was performed to establish the diagnosis and treatment. The resected tumor was a yellow; pleural origin mass; which was confirmed a lipoma. Intrathoracic lipomas are rare; but pleural lipomas are seen even less frequently. CT and percutaneous needle biopsy have been found useful examinations for diagnosing intrathoracic lipomas; but these are not always adequate for confirming the final diagnosis. Consequently; tumor resection is essential for obtaining a pathological diagnosis.耀耀耀
