    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Medical Oncology

    Background:

    • Endobronchial lipomas are rare benign neoplasms originating from fatty tissue within the tracheobronchial tree.
    • These tumors are infrequently encountered but can lead to significant respiratory compromise if left untreated.

    Observation:

    • This report details three cases of endobronchial lipoma.
    • The cases highlight the potential for these tumors to cause progressive bronchial obstruction.

    Findings:

    • Untreated endobronchial lipomas can result in recurrent obstructive pneumonitis, irreversible bronchiectasis, and pulmonary damage.
    • Endobronchial lipomas are typically amenable to endoscopic excision.

    Implications:

  • Prompt diagnosis and endoscopic removal are crucial for preventing permanent lung damage.
  • Surgical intervention via endoscopy offers a minimally invasive approach to managing endobronchial lipomas effectively.
