Massive Lipoma of the Pericardium

심낭내 거대 지방종 - 1례 보고 -

A rare benign tumor of the pericardium was found in a 47-year-old woman with epigastric discomfort. She was initially thought to have an anterior mediastinal tumor but was proved to have a massive intrapericardial lipoma without malignant condition. The tumor was measured 26X20X5 cm in size and 2,200 gm in weight. Calcifications and necroses were found around the three pedicles. The tumor was removed easily by dividing the pedicles. With the brief review of literature, we report the case.
