Abstract
Cholesterol granuloma develops as a response to cholesterol acting as an irritant and causing giant cell formation. This more commonly affects the sinuses with no previous report in the mediastinal region. We describe such a case in a cardiac surgical patient with an incidental finding of testicular lumps.
