Lipoma Between Heart and Esophagus Is Extremely Rare
Reader asks about a lipoma located between the heart and esophagus measuring about 4 by 6 inches. Dr Roach notes such lipomas are very rare in the mediastinum and usually removed only if compressing a structure or when diagnosis is unclear. He cautions against invasive surgery if the tumor is stable and not causing problems, and says liposuction is not documented in the literature.
