We reported the case of a 46-year-old man with thymolipoma whose chest X-ray initially suggested cardiomegaly. Computed tomography (CT) clearly demonstrated the existence of a large mass adjoining the left ventricular wall in the mediastinum. CT also allowed estimation of the character of the mass including its size, extent, and consistency. At thoracotomy, the tumor was excised and thymolipoma was diagnosed histopathologically.
我们报告了一例46岁患有胸腺脂肪瘤的男性病例，其胸部X光最初提示心脏扩大。计算机断层扫描（CT）清楚地显示纵隔内有一个与左心室壁相邻的大肿块。CT还能够评估肿块的特征，包括其大小、范围和质地。在开胸手术中，切除了肿瘤，并通过组织病理学诊断为胸腺脂肪瘤。
