Lipomas in the thorax are very rare. Most such lesions are asymptomatic and discovered by accident on a chest radiograph. However, radiographic features are non-specific and can mimic malignancy. We describe the case of an 82-year-old woman whose history and chest radiograph suggest a malignant lung tumour. A computed tomography scan of the chest eventually determined the fatty nature of her chest lesion.
胸部脂肪瘤非常罕见。大多数此类病变无症状，是在胸部X光检查时偶然发现的。然而，影像学特征不具特异性，可能会误诊为恶性肿瘤。我们报告一例82岁女性病例，其病史和胸部X光检查提示为恶性肺肿瘤。最终，胸部计算机断层扫描确定了其胸部病变的脂肪性质。
