Pleural lipomas are rarely encountered in the thoracic cavity. Sometimes, they infiltrate the intercostal space to have a component on either side of the intercostal space forming a hourglass configuration. They are generally solitary, small and asymptomatic. We present the case of a 49-year-old man with two giant pleural lipomas, both originating from the right parietal pleura, and one of which was passing through the intercostal space giving rise to a hourglass-shaped configuration. When they occur, although benign, considering the evolutionary potential, excision is recommended.
胸膜脂肪瘤在胸腔中很少见。有时,它们会浸润肋间间隙,在肋间间隙的两侧形成沙漏状结构。它们通常是单发的、小的且无症状的。我们报告了一例 49 岁男性患者,他患有两个巨大的胸膜脂肪瘤,均起源于右壁层胸膜,其中一个穿过肋间间隙,形成沙漏状。虽然这些肿瘤是良性的,但考虑到其潜在的进化性,建议进行切除。
