Primary tracheal tumors are very rare and 10%-20% are benign tumors. Tracheal lipoma is extremely rare and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. A 69-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with complaints of shortness of breath, respiratory distress, chest pain and cough. Chest CT scan showed a round mass in the topography of the trachea that almost caused airway obstruction. The lesion was resected endoscopically and the pedicle base was cauterized. Tracheal lipoma is a rare condition that should lie in the differential diagnosis of treatment-resistant asthma.
原发性气管肿瘤非常罕见，其中 10%-20%为良性肿瘤。气管脂肪瘤极为罕见，文献中仅报道过少数几例。一名 69 岁男性患者因呼吸困难、呼吸窘迫、胸痛和咳嗽到急诊科就诊。胸部 CT 扫描显示气管部位有一个圆形肿块，几乎导致气道阻塞。病变经内镜切除，蒂部烧灼。气管脂肪瘤较为罕见，应列为治疗抵抗性哮喘的鉴别诊断之一。
