| Core Tip |
Thymolipoma is a rare benign tumor originating from the anterior mediastinal thymus that can occasionally grow to a massive size. Surgical resection is the only feasible and curative treatment modality. Here, we report a very rare case of thymolipoma that caused respiratory insufficiency by compressing most of the lungs. A right posterolateral thoracotomy was successfully performed, and the completely excised tumor weighed 7.5 kg, which made it the largest reported thymus neoplasm to our knowledge. |
