A rare endobronchial lipoma caused lung collapse in a 77-year-old man. Bronchoscopic resection with a hot snare successfully treated this benign tumor, highlighting an effective therapeutic approach.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Endobronchial lipomas are rare, benign tumors originating from adipose tissue within the bronchial tree.
  • They can cause significant airway obstruction, leading to complications such as atelectasis and recurrent pneumonia.

Observation:

  • A case is presented of a 77-year-old male with a lingular bronchus obstruction due to an endobronchial lipoma.
  • The obstruction resulted in consecutive atelectasis of the affected lung segment.

Findings:

  • The endobronchial lipoma was successfully resected using a bronchoscope and a hot snare.
  • This minimally invasive approach provided a definitive treatment for the patient's airway obstruction.

Implications:

  • Bronchoscopic resection is a viable and effective treatment option for symptomatic endobronchial lipomas.
  • Understanding the incidence, clinical presentation, and management of these rare tumors is crucial for pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons.
