“…Intrathoracic lipomas can originate from the bronchi, lung, mediastinum, diaphragm, and chest wall, which are considered uncommon manifestations (11). It can develop in the submesothelial layers of the parietal pleura but can also extend into the subpleural, pleural, or extra-pleural spaces (4).…”

Lipoma is a benign neoplasia originating from adipocytes. It is frequently diagnosed in veterinary medicine and usually presents as cutaneous nodules but can also occur inside body cavities in less common cases. There are several reports of abdominal cavity neoplasia in horses, an important cause of colic in these animals. No cases of neoplasia in the thoracic cavity have been reported for this species. Therefore, the aim of this study was to report an intrathoracic lipoma located in the visceral pleura of an American Quarter Horse. The equine was euthanized after relapses of surgically resolved colic and unresponsive visceral pain. At necropsy, we observed fibrinous peritonitis, adherence of intestinal loops in its abdominal cavity, and hemomelasma ilei in several intestine segments. In the thoracic cavity, a whitish, firm, pendulous structure with a regular surface measuring approximately 4.0 cm x 3.0 cm was observed in the pleura of the right caudal lung lobe–and diagnosed by histopathology as lipoma. Due to the rarity of this type of lipoma presentation and considering the absence of reports of its occurrence in horses, this report is essential to list this neoplasia as a differential in pleural masses in the species.

“…0,1 % aller pulmonalen Tumoren aus [1,2]. Bei Verdacht auf Malignität wird oft die chirurgische Resektion durchgeführt [3]. Wird der Tumor mittels bronchoskopischer Biopsie jedoch korrekt identifiziert, so ist die endoskopische Laserresektion in der Mehrzahl der Patienten erfolgreich ohne relevante Risiken [4 ± 6].…”

“…Wird der Tumor mittels bronchoskopischer Biopsie jedoch korrekt identifiziert, so ist die endoskopische Laserresektion in der Mehrzahl der Patienten erfolgreich ohne relevante Risiken [4 ± 6]. In früheren Jahren wurde in der Regel die primär chirurgische Therapie durchgeführt mittels Lobektomie oder sogar Pneumektomie, oftmals unter dem Verdacht der Malignität [1,3]. Heute sollte die chirurgische Therapie nur durchgeführt werden, wenn der Tumor zu groû ist, um ihn endoskopisch zu entfernen, wenn er nicht komplett endoluminal liegt, oder wenn die Lunge hinter dem Tumor durch infektiöse Komplikationen zerstört ist [15].…”

Bronchoscopic laser resection should be considered as first line therapy in cases of endobronchial lipoma. It is safe, successful, rapid and less expensive compared to surgical resection. Surgery should only be indicated in patients with lipomas with very peripherally localisation or parenchym destruction, extrabronchial growth, suspected malignancy or technical problems at bronchoscopic resection.

“…Extracavitary cardiac lipomas, also referred to as epicardial or pericardial lipomas, are quite rare, and vary in size from a small nodule attached by a pedicle to the visceral pericardium, to an enormous mass larger than the heart itself 1–3 . One weighing 4.8 kg has been successfully resected 3 …”

The chest radiographic, echocardiographic (transthoracic and transesophageal), MRI, CT and cardiac catheterization findings in a 72-year-old patient with extensive pericardial lipomatosis are presented. Diastolic pressures in the left heart were elevated. The massive lipomatous mass was partially resected surgically with good symptomatic relief. Histologically the neoplasm consisted of mature non-malignant adipose tissue. Cushing's Syndrome was absent.
