Endobronchial lipoma is an extremely rare benign tumour, which usually causes symptoms related with bronchial obstruction. Chest computed tomography shows a homogeneous mass with fat density and without contrast enhancement. Definitive diagnosis is made with bronchoscopy and biopsy of the tumour. The treatment of choice is endoscopic resection. We present a case of an endobronchial lipoma in a 74 year-old patient, with a medical history of papilar thyroid gland carcinoma, resected endoscopically.
支气管内脂肪瘤是一种极为罕见的良性肿瘤，通常会引发与支气管阻塞相关的症状。胸部计算机断层扫描显示为一个具有脂肪密度且无对比增强的均匀肿块。通过支气管镜检查和肿瘤活检进行明确诊断。首选治疗方法是内镜下切除。我们报告一例74岁患有支气管内脂肪瘤的患者，该患者有乳头状甲状腺癌病史，已通过内镜切除。
