Peripheral intrapulmonary lipoma in a 26-year-old woman - a case report

Pol J Pathol. 2011;62(2):113-5.

Abstract

Rare in occurrence, the following case of intrapulmonary lipoma is only the fifth known case in a female patient reported in the literature. Importantly, the incorporation of this lesion into the differential diagnosis during frozen section of a predominantly adipocytic lesion limited the extent of surgical intervention and provided the patient with an optimal standard of care.
