ResuMenEl lipoma endobronquial es un tumor benigno extremadamente raro, que suele causar síntomas por obstrucción bronquial. En la tomografía computarizada de tórax se presenta como una masa homogénea de densidad grasa que no capta contraste. El diagnóstico definitivo se realiza con broncoscopia y biopsia del tumor. El tratamiento de elección es la resección por vía endoscó-pica. Presentamos un caso de lipoma endobronquial en una paciente de 74 años, con antecedente de carcinoma papilar de tiroides, resecado por vía endoscópica.Palabras clave: Lipoma. Endobronquial. Benigno.

Chest computed tomography shows a homogeneous mass with fat density and without contrast enhancement. Definitive diagnosis is made with bronchoscopy and biopsy of the tumour. The treatment of choice is endoscopic resection. We present a case of an endobronchial lipoma in a 74 yearold patient, with a medical history of papilar thyroid gland carcinoma, resected endoscopically.
