Abstract

Thymomas is a rare mediastinal mass in children. The 2-9% of all thymic tumors are a thymolipoma, an usnusual benign mediastinal mass composed of thymic and adipose tissue, they are usually present in young adults.

Left posterolateral toracothomy was performed and the mass was complete resected. The patient was discharged 6 days postoperative with a good evolution.
