title: Thymolipoma--a case report.
abstract: A 28 year old male presented with a 8 months history of chest pain, cough and breathlessness. CT scan revealed a large mass in right anterior mediastinum showing fat and soft tissue attenuation. Histopathology of the resected mass revealed a tumour showing extensive areas of mature fat and relatively less interspersed thymic tissue confirming thymolipoma. Because of its rarity, we are presenting this case with a brief review of literature.
