Endobronchial lipoma: A case report

Endobronşiyal lipom (EL) akciğer hasarı oluşturabilen benign nadir bir neoplazmdır. EL, klinikte bronşiyal karsinoid ya da malign tümörler ile karıştırılabilir. Özellikle orta yaş üzeri, sigara içen erkeklerde akciğer kanserleri ile karışabilir. Tedavinin amacı komplikasyonların önlenmesidir. Cerrahi tedavi uygulanan sağ üst lob bronşu kaynaklı bir EL olgusunu sunuyoruz.

Endobronşiyal lipom: Olgu sunumu

Endobronchial lipoma (EL) is a rare benign neoplasm that may cause irreversible pulmonary damage distally, and may be misdiagnosed clinically as a bronchial carcinoid or malignant tumor. They simulate malignant tumors, because of the age, sex and smoking history of the patients in whom they are found. Proper management is a 'must' in order to avoid serious and unnecessary complications of the lung. We present a case of endobronchial lipoma, which is located in the right upper lobe bronchus, and diagnosed and treated by surgery.
