Histologically confirmed lipomas were surgically removed from the thoracic or abdominal cavities of six dogs. Three dogs had a large intra-abdominal mass causing severe abdominal distension. Two dogs had a mass extending into the pelvic canal, compressing the colon and causing obstipation. One dog with an intrathoracic mass had a history of coughing and intermittent cyanosis. All dogs had complete resolution of signs after surgical resection of the tumour. Recurrence occurred in one dog with an abdominal lipoma, two years after the initial surgery. This recurrent lipoma was treated successfully by surgical resection.

Giant pedunculated oesophageal polyps are rare intraluminal tumours which are usually benign. they include fibrovascular polyp, liposarcoma, harmatomas and lipomas. They may be asymptomatic for a long time and thus attain an enormous size. We present one of such cases of giant oesophageal polyp in a 28 year-old man with a history of difficulty in breathing and vocalisation, easy fatigability and cough. Dysphagia was late in the complaint and he also had lost 7 kg in the last six months before his presentation. A chest radiograph, barium swallow and oesophagoscopy gave the clinical diagnosis. The thoracic CT examination gave a better delineation of the site of the pedicle, the nature and extent of the tumour mass. The tumour was surgically removed and the final pathological diagnosis was afibro-lipoma of the oesophagus. The patient has since been discharged to follow-up in the Surgical out-patient.

We report a case of anterior mediastinal lipoma. A 71-year-old female was admitted for cough. A fat density tumor from anterior mediastinum to left thoracic cavity was found by chest X-ray, chest computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Defect of left dorsal diaphragm was suspected and there was a possibility that the tumor was connected to retroperitoneum. Under the preoperative diagnosis of a benign huge mediastinal lipoma, we conducted an operation. At 1st, we observed by thoracoscopy and made sure that the mass was primary anterior mediastinal tumor and not connected to retroperitoneum. Through the median sternotomy, we completely resected the tumor with thymus. The tumor showed 27 cm in diameter, and histopathological diagnosis of the tumor was benign lipoma. Lipoma of the mediastinum is very rare and about 0.3% of all mediastinal tumors. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish huge lipoma from liposarcoma only by clinical examinations such as CT scan or MRI. We evaluated the condition of the tumor by thoracoscopic observation, and the tumor was safely and completely resected by median sternotomy.

Endobronchial lipomas are rare benign tumors; less than 150 cases have been reported so far. Bronchial occlusion usually leads to a misdiagnosis of asthma/COPD or malignancy. We report the case of a 67-year-old man with a history of heavy smoking (100 pack years), dyspnea on exertion, cough, and malaise who was treated for pneumonia for three weeks. Due to nonresolving atelectasis of the superior segment of the right lower lobe, a malignant endobronchial tumor was suspected. Rigid bronchoscopy with cryorecanalization led to both the definite histopathological diagnosis of endobronchial lipoma and the reopening of an endoluminal airway obstruction during one procedure.

Endobronchial lipomas are rare benign unusual tumors of the respiratory tract. We describe a 65-year-old Chinese man with a history of cough due to an endobronchial tumor. The endobronchial biopsy was not excisional and was unable to evaluate the whole tumor. Then the mass was successfully resected via a right lateral thoracotomy. The histopathological diagnosis confirmed a benign lipoma arising from the membranous trachea. His CT features and fiberoptic bronchoscopic findings are shown along with the pathological results. In describing the management of this case, we stress that the clinical treatment of such tumors should be individualized according to the characteristics of each patient and mass.

Endobronchial lipomas are rare benign tumors of the respiratory tract. Bronchial occlusion may cause parenchymal damage and lead to a misdiagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or malignancy. Therefore, both accurate diagnosis and radical treatment of endobronchial lipomas are essential. We describe the case of a 61-year-old man with a history of smoking (40 pack years), dyspnea in exertion, and cough during the past 6 months due to an endobronchial lipoma. Chest computed tomographic (CT) scan revealed a circumscribed polypoid lesion partially obstructing the left lower lobe. The endobronchial lipoma was removed by flexible bronchoscopy, and the patient had complete resolution of symptoms following the procedure. Flexible bronchoscopy was normal at the 3-month follow-up. In addition, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of endobronchial lipomas are discussed.

A high number of asylum seekers enter Switzerland every year. They often originate from countries with a high TB prevalence. Our patient from Somalia presented with 2 lipoma-like tumors with pain on palpation on his left chest wall but no symptoms including coughing, fever, night-sweats, or loss of weight. CT scan then showed diffuse infiltrations of his lung and multiple abscesses on his left chest wall. Therefore contagious tuberculosis (TB) was suspected and the patient was put in isolation. In the follow-up the diagnosis of open TB was proofed with bronchial secretion and EBUS-guided biopsy that showed acid-fast rods. This particular case shows how difficult the identification of patients with open TB can be, especially if there are no respiratory or systemic symptoms. Therefore awareness of possible infectious disease is paramount for ED Doctors treating patients from countries with high prevalence. Early and strict isolation measures can help to reduce risk of contagion among staff and patients.

Lipomas are benign mesenchymal neoplasms that arise from adipocytes. Most lipomas are found in the subcutaneous tissue; however, they can be present throughout the body. Lipomas arising from the thoracic pleura are exceptionally rare, with only approximately 20 cases ever reported in the literature. While typically asymptomatic, pleural lipomas may cause compressive symptoms such as nonproductive cough, chest pain, and dyspnea if they reach adequate size. A CT scan is usually sufficient for the diagnosis and typically reveals well-defined nodules with homogenous fat attenuation of approximately -50 to -150 Hounsfield units. Management is dependent on various factors including tumor size and location, associated symptoms, and age of the patient. Pleural lipomatosis, although exceedingly rare, should be maintained in the differential diagnosis for any well-defined, fat-attenuating pleural mass identified on conventional radiologic studies. Here we report a case of pleural lipomatosis associated with bilateral pleural effusions identified in an 83-year-old male presenting with acute onset dyspnea.
