Abstract
Subpleural and mediastinal lipomatosis are benign intrathoracic conditions discovered incidentally on plain chest radiographs.
However, diagnosis is usually made by Computed Tomography (CT). A case of both mediastinal and pleural lipomatosis associated
with use of steroids in a 58-year-old male patient presented with complaints of breathlessness and dry cough is discussed in this
case report. Intially, pleural effusion and bilateral upper lobe patchy opacities were suspected as a cause of breathlessness on the
basis of chest x-ray findings. For which, CT scan of chest was advised.
