A 53-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a history of a right lung nodule which had gradually increased in size. Wedge resection of the right middle lobe using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was performed and revealed a yellowish, soft, well circumscribed nodule. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of an uncommon lipolymph node. The patient recovered well from surgery, and there has been no recurrence in the lung for over one-year of follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a lipolymph node in the lung.
一位 53 岁男性因右肺结节病史就诊，该结节逐渐增大。我们为他施行了电视辅助胸腔镜手术（VATS）楔形切除术，术中发现一个黄色、柔软、界限清楚的结节。组织学分析证实了罕见的脂淋巴结节的诊断。患者术后恢复良好，随访超过一年，肺部未见复发。据我们所知，这是首例肺部脂淋巴结节的报告。
