چکیده

Incidentally, a lesion in the right upper pulmonary lobe was found in a 74-year-old male patient. The flexible bronchoscopy revealed an endobrochial lipoma in the right lower lobe as the only pathological finding. Due to multiple co-morbidities, no intervention was performed initially. Since the endobronchial lipoma increased in size during follow-up, it was removed by cryoextraction. This case report on an endobronchial lipoma includes a short summary of this rare benign lung tumor.

We report a case of a 47-year-old man who had left lung pneumonia with hemoptysis. The chest computed tomography showed cystic...

Endobronchial lipoma: a case report.

Endobronchial lipoma (EL) is a rare benign neoplasm that may cause irreversible pulmonary damage distally, and may be misdiagnosed clinically as a bronchial carcinoid or malignant tumor. They simulate malignant tumors, because of the age, sex and smoking history of the patients in whom they are found. Proper management is a "must" in order to avoid serious and unnecessary complications of the l...
