    Abstract:
    Thymolipoma is a very rare mediastinal tumor. We reported a case of 52-year-old female with thymolipoma which was located in the cervicomediastinal area. The chest X-ray film revealed an abnormal shadow in the superior mediastinum. Computed Tomography (CT) clearly showed the existence of a large mass in the left side of the trachea. The angiogram showed that there was a stenosis on the left brachiocephalic vein. On June 13, 1988, median sternotomy was performed. A large tumor, about 5.5 x 13 x 5.5 cm, was found arising from the left cervical area. This tumor was excised completely and thymolipoma was diagnosed histopathologically. The post-operative course was very satisfactory.
