  • Title: Endobronchial lipoma: a case report.

    Journal: Tuberk Toraks; 2003; 51(4):432-5. PubMed ID: 15143393.
    Abstract:
    Endobronchial lipoma (EL) is a rare benign neoplasm that may cause irreversible pulmonary damage distally, and may be misdiagnosed clinically as a bronchial carcinoid or malignant tumor. They simulate malignant tumors, because of the age, sex and smoking history of the patients in whom they are found. Proper management is a "must" in order to avoid serious and unnecessary complications of the lung. We present a case of endobronchial lipoma, which is located in the right upper lobe bronchus, and diagnosed and treated by surgery.
