โœฆ Synopsis

Lipomas are common benign neoplasms of the chest wall. However, their extension from the pleural space through the ribs into the superficial tissues of the chest wall has been described only twice previously, both by computed tomography (CT). A case is presented of a transmural chest wall lipoma diagnosed by MRI with CT correlation. The advantages of MRI in the diagnosis of these unique neoplasms are described.

Although soft tissue lipomata are common tumours, a large lipoma arising from the deep layers of the abdominal wall would appear to be excessively rare and the site of origin may be difficult to determine. The CT and MRI appearances of such a tumour are described.
