Pleural lipomas are rare, benign, slow-growing tumors composed of fat cells. This case report highlights a symptomatic pleural lipoma, adding to the limited surgical literature on this condition. A 56-year-old female presented with intermittent left pleuritic chest pain. Imaging revealed a benign left pleural lipoma without effusion or pleural thickening. The patient underwent video-assisted thoracoscopy surgery (VATS) for resection of the lipoma. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with complete resolution of symptoms. Pleural lipomas are rare, benign, slow-growing tumors that are usually asymptomatic. Symptomatic cases should be managed with surgical resection via VATS for optimal outcomes.
