BACKGROUND/AIM: Thymic lipofibroadenoma is a benign growth of unknown etiology extremely rarely described in the literature, morphologically resembling lipofibroadenoma of the breast. The diagnosis is usually a postoperative surprise and is made by the anatomopathologist. Surgical resection is curative.
CASE REPORT
The presented case is the first reported in a woman, to date. The patient was successfully submitted to surgery and complete resection of the giant intrathoracic tumor was performed. The histopathological and immunohistochemical studies came to demonstrated the presence of a thymic lipofibroadenoma while the postoperative outcomes were favorable.
CONCLUSION
In cases presenting large intrathoracic tumors complete resection is able to provide a significant improvement of the general condition of the patient, as well as a chance for cure.
背景/目的：胸腺脂肪纤维腺瘤是一种良性肿瘤，其病因不明，在文献中极为罕见，形态上类似于乳腺的脂肪纤维腺瘤。诊断通常是术后的意外发现，由解剖病理学家做出。手术切除是可治愈的。
病例报告
本例是迄今为止首例报道的女性病例。该患者成功接受了手术，完整切除了巨大的胸腔内肿瘤。组织病理学和免疫组织化学研究证实存在胸腺脂肪纤维腺瘤，且术后结果良好。
结论
对于出现大型胸腔内肿瘤的病例，完整切除能够显著改善患者的整体状况，并提供治愈的机会。
