Obstructing tracheal lipoma: management of a rare tumor

T F Chen et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1990 Jan.

Abstract

Benign neoplasms of the trachea are rare. We describe a 46-year-old patient with a lipoma arising from the membranous trachea and causing severe respiratory obstruction. Investigation and management of this problem are discussed, and the literature is reviewed.
