Abstract

Benign tumours of the lung and endobronchial tree are uncommon. Endobronchial lipomas are extremely rare, with an incidence ranging from 0.1 to 0.5% of all lung tumours. Endobronchial lipomas originate from fat cells located in the peribronchial (and occasionally the submucosal) tissue of the main bronchi. This paper presents the case of a patient in whom, four years after transbronchial resection of an endobronchial lipoma, recurrence of the lesion in the same lung was confirmed. The diagnosis was made on the basis of a CT scan, which detected lesions with previously identified morphology.
Keywords: benign tumour of the lung; endobronchial lipoma; interventional bronchoscopy benign tumour of the lung; endobronchial lipoma; interventional bronchoscopy
