Endobronchial Lipoma Causing Almost Completely Trachea Obstruction

ABSTRACT Even though endobronchial lipoma is rare, it can mimic malignancy and lead to significant complications such as progressive dyspnea and subsequent lung infections related to endobronchial obstruction. We present a case of endobronchial lipoma located in the trachea causing almost complete t...

description ABSTRACT Even though endobronchial lipoma is rare, it can mimic malignancy and lead to significant complications such as progressive dyspnea and subsequent lung infections related to endobronchial obstruction. We present a case of endobronchial lipoma located in the trachea causing almost complete tracheal obstruction. The patient's dyspnea disappeared after undergoing bronchoscopic excision of the mass.
