Abstract:
Endobronchial lipoma is an uncommon benign tumor. It is composed of fat tissue and is visible on CT scanner. We report an unusual case of a patient who developed two endobronchial lipomas. The first lipoma was removed 10 years earlier. We emphasize the contribution of computed tomography in the diagnosis of endobronchial lipoma. Cases of multiple lipomas are very scarce in the literature.
