Abstract :
Endobronchial lipomas are rare benign tumors of the lung. The reported case was a 46-year-old man who came to our center for follow up of endobronchial lesion and contracted it 5 years ago. A fibrobronchoscopy failed to reach the lesion due to narrowing in the upper respiratory tract and the percutaneous sampling (CT-guided FNA) was taken. Histopathological investigation revealed that the tumor was an endobronchial lipoma; the tumor composed of mature fat tissue and was covered with bronchial epithelium.
