Endobronchial lipoma: a review with four cases

C G MacArthur et al. Br J Dis Chest. 1977 Apr.

Abstract

Endobronchial lipomas are rare benign tumours which can cause irreversible pulmonary damage unless removed early. The clinical features and treatment of four cases are reviewed in the light of the previous literature. The histogenesis of these tumours and their relationship to hamartomas are discussed. The treatment of choice in most cases is bronchoscopic excision.
