Resumo: We report a case of a huge mass located at the anterior – superior mediastinum in a 2 – year – old black girl. The patient had no symptoms or any other associated disease. Preoperative examination was performed using chest CT scan and chest MRI, and sugested the diagnosis of thymolipoma before surgery. This tumor was successfully resected by an anterior bilateral thoracotomy with sternotomy (Clamshell incision). The diagnosis was confirmed histologically. Thymolipoma is a rare benign mediastinal tumor that can be presented as very large tumor in an asymptomatic patient, or it can be associated with myasthenia gravis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, red cell aplasia, hypogammaglobulinemia and lichen planus, especially in adults.

A paciente estava assintomática e não apresentava doenças associadas. Foi realizada avaliação pré-operatória usando a tomografia computadorizada e a ressonância nuclear magnética do tórax, que sugeriram o diagnóstico de timolipoma. Este tumor foi tratado cirurgicamente por uma toracotomia bilateral com secção transversa do esterno (incisão à Clamshell). O diagnóstico foi confirmado pela histopatologia. O timolipoma é um tumor raro do mediastino anterior que pode apresentar-se como uma grande massa em um paciente assintomático bem como associado com miastenia gravis, esclerose lateral amiotrófica, aplasia medular, hipogamaglobulinemia e liquen plano, entidades estas presentes principalmente nos adultos.INCA2002-03-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRelato de Casoapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/226910.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2002v48n1.2269Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 48 No. 1 (2002): Jan./Feb./Mar.; 107-111Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 48 Núm. 1 (2002): ene./feb./mar.; 107-111Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 48 n. 1 (2002): jan./fev./mar.; 107-1112176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/2269/1417Vicuña, Carlos HumbertoRoriz, WalterTorquato, EmanuelGonçalves, Alberto RFaria, PauloToscano, Edsoninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:39:25Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/2269Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2021-11-29T20:39:25Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false
