Abstract

A case of tracheo-bronchial lipomatosis is reported. Bronchial lipomas are benign fatty tumours which frequently result in bronchial superinfection or dyspnoea. The radiological image is often one of atelectasis, and the diagnosis is made at endoscopy. Treatment, rendered necessary by destruction of the underlying lung, is either endoscopic or surgical. Multiple localizations are exceptional and raise special therapeutic problems.
