Abstract

Angiolipoma is a rare benign tumor composed of mature adipose tissues and blood vessels. It is usually located in the subcutaneous tissue of the trunk, the extremities and the neck, and few cases of angiolipoma have been reported in the mediastinum. We report here on a rare case of posterior mediastinal angiolipoma that presented with pleural effusion.

혈관지방종은 성숙 지방세포와 혈관조직으로 구성된 드문 양성 종양이다. 혈관지방종은 주로 사지, 몸통 및 목의 피하 연부 조직에서 발견되며, 후종격동에서 직접 발생한 경우는 극히 드물다. 우리는 후종격동에서 흉수를 동반한 혈관지방종의 증례를 경험하였기에 이를 보고한다.
