This report describes a 19-year-old girl with a chest radiograph strongly suggestive of cardiomegaly. Although she did not consent to haemodynamic studies, cardiomegaly wasru led out on the basis of the clinical course. Careful radiological study proved the existence of a large mass in the anterior mediastinum, simulating cardiomegaly. At thoracotomy a thymolipoma weighing 450 g was resected. The pathogenesis of thymolipoma is discussed.
本报告描述了一名19岁女孩，其胸部X光片强烈提示心脏扩大。尽管她不同意进行血流动力学研究，但根据临床病程排除了心脏扩大。仔细的放射学研究证实前纵隔存在一个巨大肿块，形似心脏扩大。开胸手术时切除了一个重达450克的胸腺脂肪瘤。本文讨论了胸腺脂肪瘤的发病机制。
