Abstract

A massive anterior mediastinal tumor was discovered in a 9-year-old girl with long-standing symptoms of asthma. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results suggested the presence of a thymolipoma, a rare benign tumor of the thymus. Few cases have been reported in the literature, although the histological and radiographic features have been well described. This case confirms previously reported characteristics and also illuminate new aspects of clinical presentation and perioperative management.
