Endobronchial lipoma is a benign tumour of the large bronchi occurring in middle-aged men. To the 38 successfully treated cases in the English literature a further 2 are added. The symptoms are those of obstructive pneumonitis mimicking bronchogenic carcinoma, and the result of delayed therapy may be bronchiectasis. Treatment includes local resection through a bronchoscope or a bronchotomy incision, or removal, if necessary, of the obstructed lobe or lung at thoracotomy. Smoking may be important in the pathogenesis of this tumour.
支气管内脂肪瘤是一种发生于中年男性大支气管的良性肿瘤。英文文献中已有38例成功治疗的病例，现又增加了2例。其症状为类似支气管源性癌的阻塞性肺炎症状，延迟治疗的结果可能是支气管扩张。治疗方法包括通过支气管镜进行局部切除或做支气管切开切口，必要时在开胸手术中切除受阻的肺叶或肺。吸烟可能在该肿瘤的发病机制中起重要作用。
