ABSTRACT
Endobronchial lipomas are rare benign tumors that arise from the lung. They partially or totally obstruct the bronchial lumen, producing a variable degree of collapse, irreversible bronchiectasis, and pulmonary damage. Although bronchoscope, CT and MR are reported to be helpful in establishing the diagnosis, CT is highly specific and sensitive in detecting fatty tumor. They may be removed by endoscope or thoracotomy or lobectomy. We present a case of endobronchial lipoma completely obstructing the right middle lobe and postobstructive irreversible pulmonary change with review of literatures.
