Abstract
|
|
|
Mediatinal lipomatosis is a common benign cause of mediastinal widening. While it
may be associated with exogenous obesity, steroid ingestion or Cushing syndrome, these
factor are often not present. Evaluation of the mediastinum by CT should be the initial
diagnostic study in the work-up of patients with abnormalites of the mediastinal
contour.
We report a case of extensive anterior mediastinal lipomatosis induced by steroids,
with brief review of the literatures.
