Abstract

Endobronchial lipoma is a extremely rare benign tumor, that usually causes symptoms related with bronchial obstruction. Chest computed tomography shows a homogeneous mass with fat density and without contrast enhancement. Definitive diagnosis is made with bronchoscopy and biopsy of the tumor. The election treatment is endoscopic resection. We present a case of an endobronchial lipoma in a 74 year-old patient, with medical history of papilar thyroid gland carcinoma, resected endoscopically.
