Mediastinal Widening Secondary To Mediastinal Lipomatosis

Abstract

Mediastinal lipomatosis is a benign condition characterized by symmetric unencapsulated accumulation of fat within the mediastinum, which distorts the mediastinal silhouette to varying degrees. Here we report a case of mediastinal lipomatosis, in 65 year old male due to simple obesity, based on thoracic computed tomography that came to us as a part of anesthesia clearance.
