We describe a 63-year-old male who presented with progressive exertional dyspnea, post-obstructive pneumonia and chest CT findings of an endobronchial lesion. Bronchoscopy revealed an endobronchial lipoma, which was resected using snare electrocautery. Complete resolution of the patient's symptoms was noted following bronchoscopic resection.

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.

- - Endobronchial lipomas, although rare, should be considered by doctors when patients experience recurring pneumonia.
- - Diagnosis typically involves imaging techniques like computed tomography and procedures like bronchoscopy.
- - In this case, the patient's coughing improved after having a right basal segmentectomy, a type of surgical removal.
