Abstract
Symptomatic pleural lipoma is an extremely rare clinical entity that can occur in all age groups and involve both sexes equally. The treatment can be done using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. We report a case of symptomatic pleural lipoma that was successfully removed using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
