Abstract
|
|
|
Endobronchial lipomas are rare lesions that usually obstruct a major bronchus and cause irreversible pulmonary damage distally. They are histologically benign tumors. But they can produce pulmonary damage or irreversible bronchiectasis if
dignoses
or
treatments are delayed. Whenever possible, the treatment of choice is resection by means of bronchoscopy. If endoscopic removal is not possible or if the nature of the tumor is unclear, surgery is necessary, with lobectomy or pneumonectomy being
required in most cases due to the extensively damaged pulmonary parenchyma.
We present a case of endobronchial lipoma causing bronchial obstruction and peripheral organizing pneumonia with its clinical features, diagnosis and treatment methods.
