Endobronchial Lipomatous Polyp : A Rare Benign Tumor of the Lung

Abstract EN

Endobronchial lipomatous polyp is a rare nonmalignant tumor of the lung.

It comprises 5% of the benign lung tumor, with the majority of benign tumors being hamartoma.

Lipomatous polyp often leads to endobronchial lesion, associated with postobstructive pneumonia, hemoptysis, and atelectasis.

We hereby present a case and discussion of an elderly man with endobronchial lipomatous polyp, presenting as recurrent pneumonia.
