  • Title: Endoscopic removal of a right lower lobe bronchial lipoma in a high-risk patient: a case report.
    Author: Poirier NC, Perrault LP, Beauchamp G, Filion R.
    Journal: Can J Surg; 1994 Oct; 37(5):411-4. PubMed ID: 7922904.
    Abstract:
    Endobronchial lipomas are rare benign tumours that cause bronchial obstruction, leading to extensive distal parenchymal damage. This report describes the endoscopic removal of a right main bronchus lipoma with a rigid endoscope and snare technique in a high-risk patient. The patient was successfully treated without complication. Endoscopic reaction is the preferred therapeutic approach for this subgroup of patients.
