Even though endobronchial lipoma is rare, it can mimic malignancy and lead to significant complications such as progressive dyspnea and subsequent lung infections related to endobronchial obstruction. We present a case of endobronchial lipoma located in the trachea causing almost complete tracheal obstruction. The patient's dyspnea disappeared after undergoing bronchoscopic excision of the mass.

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.
