Abstract

Lipoma is a common benign soft tissue tumor, but its size and location can lead to serious issues. We report a case of a 48 year-old male patient who experienced sudden cardiac arrest outside the hospital. After resuscitation and examination, we determined that this was due to a massive mediastinal lipoma compressing the lungs, leading to respiratory failure and pulmonary encephalopathy, ultimately resulting in cardiac arrest. This case serves as a reminder to promptly identify and manage chest lipomas to avoid compression and functional impairment of the respiratory system. Early evaluation and treatment of massive lipomas are crucial for preventing complications.

导致一名中年男性心脏骤停的巨大前纵隔脂肪瘤:病例报告和文献综述。
脂肪瘤是一种常见的良性软组织肿瘤,但其大小和位置可能导致严重问题。我们报告了一例 48 岁男性患者在医院外突发心脏骤停的病例。经过抢救和检查,我们确定这是由于巨大纵隔脂肪瘤压迫肺部,导致呼吸衰竭和肺性脑病,最终导致心跳骤停。这个病例提醒我们要及时发现和处理胸部脂肪瘤,以避免呼吸系统受压和功能受损。早期评估和治疗巨大脂肪瘤对预防并发症至关重要。

期刊介绍: Research advances have contributed to improved outcomes across all specialties, but the rate of advancement in cardiology has been exceptional. Concurrently, the population of patients with cardiac conditions continues to grow and greater public awareness has increased patients" expectations of new drugs and devices. Future Cardiology (ISSN 1479-6678) reflects this new era of cardiology and highlights the new molecular approach to advancing cardiovascular therapy. Coverage will also reflect the major technological advances in bioengineering in cardiology in terms of advanced and robust devices, miniaturization, imaging, system modeling and information management issues.
