Multislice computed tomography with virtual bronchoscopy findings of endobronchial lipoma: a case report
Journal Title: Kocaeli Tıp Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Endobronchial lipoma is an extremely rare benign tumor that originates from the fat cells located in the peribronchial and the submucosal tissue of main bronchi. They may be asymptomatic if present symptoms depend on the location of the tumor, the severity of bronchial obstruction. Radiological diagnosis is based on demonstrating fat density of the lesion. Bronchoscopic biopsies are frequently nondiagnostic due to the tumor’s thick fibrous capsule or may be confusing due to atypical cells are found secondary to chronic inflammation. Thus CT is extremely important in the diagnosis of endobronchial lipomas. A pedunculated homogeneous mass with fat density is encountered on computed tomography (CT) in a 75 year old man with rheumatoid arthritis. Herein we report MDCT and virtual bronchoscopy findings of endobronchial lipoma (EBL).
