Abstract
Bronchial benign tumors are very rare; however, endobronchial lipomas are responsible for 0.1–0.5% of all lung tumors (1,2). Clinical symptoms depend on the severity of bronchial obstruction and the effects on parenchyma. It is more common in men and more frequently observed in the right bronchial system (3). We present a 76-year-old woman with two separate endobronchial lipomas in the upper lobe and intermediary bronchi, who applied with cough and sputum. The patient was successfully treated with electrocautery snare technique. After this procedure, thorax CT showed bronchiectasis of right lower zone. Thoracotomy was not taken into consideration. After 2-year follow-up the patient has no complaint.
