A mediastinal lipoma is a noncancerous fatty growth that develops in the central chest. Most cause no symptoms and are found unexpectedly on imaging. An MRI may show a fatty mass in the central chest as an incidental finding. Finding a mediastinal lipoma allows for monitoring to ensure it does not grow large enough to affect surrounding structures.
