Abstract
DACAL, R.; ABAL, J.; MARCOS, P.J. and MONTERO, M.C.. Endobronchial lipoma. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2012, vol.35, n.3, pp.529-532. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1137-66272012000300026.
Endobronchial lipoma is an extremely rare benign tumour, which usually causes symptoms related with bronchial obstruction. Chest computed tomography shows a homogeneous mass with fat density and without contrast enhancement. Definitive diagnosis is made with bronchoscopy and biopsy of the tumour. The treatment of choice is endoscopic resection. We present a case of an endobronchial lipoma in a 74 year-old patient, with a medical history of papilar thyroid gland carcinoma, resected endoscopically.
