  • Title: Tracheal lipoma: a rare intrathoracic neoplasm.
    Author: Morton SE, Byrd RP, Fields CL, Roy TM.
    Journal: South Med J; 2000 May; 93(5):497-500. PubMed ID: 10832949.
    Abstract:
    Primary tracheal lipomas are extremely rare neoplasms. The typical patient is a middle-aged man with complaints of cough and shortness of breath. Often, the diagnosis is delayed, and patients are treated for asthma or bronchitis. The diagnosis of a tracheal lipoma is best approached by computed tomography (CT) and bronchofibroscopy. Tracheobronchial lipomas may be successfully excised endoscopically or by laser therapy. Open surgical resection is required when the lipoma extends extraluminally.
