title: Giant lipoma: an unusual cause of intrathoracic mass.
abstract: Postmortem examination performed in a 39-year-old woman revealed a well-circumscribed, round, large mass in the right hemithorax. The tumor was attached with its pedicle to the ventral pericardium and adjoined the diaphragm with compression of the right lower lobe of the lung. Histologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of giant lipoma.
