ABSTRACT:
Mediastinal lipomatous tumors with additional
malignant soft tissue components are exceedingly rare. Patients can have
substantially large sized tumors with long duration of symptoms and can be
misinterpreted on radiographs. Enhancing soft tissue component within a fat
density lesion within the mediastinum is alarming and should raise the
suspicion of sarcomatous component. Along with diagnostic imaging, selective CT
guided biopsy/FNAC from the enhancing soft tissue component can help in making
correct diagnosis.
