Focal Lipogranuloma Inflammation: A Case Report of the Lung Origin



Limited experience exists regarding the clinical features of focal lipogranuloma inflammation of the lung, and there are no supporting guidelines for the diagnostic approach.



We present the case of a 20-year-old man who was found to have a pulmonary nodule with a smooth margin during a health examination. He underwent wedge resection of the left lower lung to achieve a tissue diagnosis; this showed focal lipogranuloma inflammation of the lung.



In this report, we combined imaging and pathological findings to reach the diagnosis, with a view to assisting clinicians in navigating this challenging clinical situation.
