Abstract

Data relating to Launois-Bensaude disease are reviewed and two cases reported. Both patients were dyspneic, one of them presenting preoperative trachea deviation, a complication reported in only about 2% of cases documented in the literature. Dissection of these non-encapsulated fatty tumors is difficult and can lead to complications, but surgical excision remains the only possible treatment.
