“…Lipomas located in the mediastinum are uncommon Lipomatosis is a diffuse overgrowth of adipose tissue that can occur following steroid therapy. 39 Other benign adipocytic tumors, including lipoblastoma, 40 lipoblastomatosis, 41 hibernoma, 42 angiolipoma, 43 chondrolipoma, 44 spindle cell lipoma, 45 myelolipoma, 46 and atypical spindle cell/pleomorphic lipomatous tumor (ASPLT), 47 can arise in the mediastinum. In the 2020 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of soft tissue tumors, ASPLT is a newly described tumor under the adipocytic tumors category, 48 while angiomyolipoma has been reclassified under tumors of uncertain differentiation.…”

Mesenchymal tumors of the mediastinum are a heterogenous group of rare tumors with divergent lineages. Mediastinal mesenchymal tumors are diagnostically challenging due to their diversity and morphologic overlap with nonmesenchymal lesions arising in the mediastinum. Accurate histologic diagnosis is critical for appropriate patient management and prognostication. Many mediastinal mesenchymal tumors affect distinct age groups or occur at specific mediastinal compartments. Neurogenic tumors, liposarcoma, solitary fibrous tumor, and synovial sarcoma are common mesenchymal tumors in the mediastinum. Herein, we provide an update on the diagnostic approach to mediastinal mesenchymal tumors and a review of the histologic features and differential diagnosis of common benign and malignant mesenchymal tumors of the mediastinum.
