Imaging findings
CT scan shows a stable, homogeneous, well-behaved fat-attenuating mass embedded within the muscle of the diaphragmatic crus, surrounded by a thin rim of diaphragmatic muscle.

Lipomas are the most common benign tumors of the diaphragm. They present as asymptomatic fat-density lesions embedded within the diaphragmatic muscle and are distinct from simple fat herniation.
