A 72-year-old man was found to have an endobronchial lipoma accompanied with primary lung cancer. A left lower lobectomy with a mediastinal lymph node dissection and a sleeve resection of the lingual bronchus with telescoping bronchial anastomosis were done. The pathological staging was T1N2M0, stage IIIA. A histological examination showed well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in segment 10, in addition to the presence of mature adipose tissue which was diagnosed to be a benign endobronchial lipoma originating from the lingual bronchus. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged 13 days after the operation. However, he had a recurrence in the subcarinal lymph node, and died 8 months after surgery.

Endobronchial lipoma (EL) is a rare benign lung tumor, and its incidence rate only accounts for a tiny proportion of all lung tumors. EL has non-specific clinical symptoms and signs, and chest computed tomography is helpful in diagnosis. When fat density nodules are found in the bronchial lumen with no enhancement, EL should be considered.

Atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma (ALT/WDL) is a rare subtype of endobronchial tumor that has been rarely reported in medical literature. Due to its low incidence, distinguishing it from endobronchial lipoma poses a significant diagnostic challenge, necessitating histopathologic and cytogenetic analysis. As of today, the treatment and surveillance protocols for these neoplasms remain poorly defined, often resulting in their misclassification and treatment as endobronchial lipomas.

Endobronchial lipoma (EL) is a rare benign tumor characterized by tracheobronchial smooth-surfaced mass, often resulting in bronchial obstruction without standard guidelines for management. This study seeks to clarify the clinical features and interventions of EL, aiming to improve its diagnosis and outcomes. A retrospective review was conducted on 28516 outpatients treated between January 2015 and December 2019 at the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University to collect patients diagnosed with EL.

Bronchial lipoma is a rare benign tumor of the lung, which is often misdiagnosed due to concomitant pulmonary diseases. In addition, the coexistence of endobronchial lipoma and lung cancer is extremely unusual. To date, no related computed tomography (CT) images have been reported.
