Endobronchial lipoma: a rare cause of bronchial occlusion

Ahmet Basoglu et al. Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg. 2004 Jun.

Abstract

Benign neoplasms of the endobronchial tree are uncommon, and among them lipomas are the most uncommon. Endobronchial lipoma is histologically benign in character but may cause bronchial obstruction. We describe a 47-year-old woman with an endobronchial lipoma arising from the right main bronchus which was treated as asthma for 4 years.
