“…In our patient, irreversible postobstructive changes in the lung parenchyma occurred. However, lung resection must be performed if there are irreversible changes in the parenchyma, such as fibrosis, bronchiectasis, or lung abscess [5,6]. A review article of bronchial lipoma cases in Japan stated that bronchoscopic resection was carried out in 17 out of 64 cases [7].…”

Primary tracheobronchial lipoma is an extremely rare entity, the diagnosis of which is often missed initially. Cases are generally diagnosed late after initial treatment for asthma and bronchitis. We report a case of a 42-year-old man with a left main bronchus lipoma that caused near-total obstruction. The lipoma was treated by bronchoscopic resection with an electrosurgical snare and cryoablation.

“…We found 36.1% of patients with ELs were reported smokers, and only 5.6% of them were non-smokers/never smokers. Obesity and smoking are considered risk factors, although there are no conclusive studies showing a causative relation (8).…”

Background: Endobronchial lipomas (ELs) are extremely rare benign tumors that account for 0.1-0.4% of all bronchial tumors. Our study aims to better characterize these lesions based on their baseline demographic characteristics, size, location, association with smoking and establish a treatment modality of choice for such tumors. Methods:We conducted a retrospective meta-analysis of 29 studies of EL reported from 1994 till present.These 29 studies yielded 36 patient encounters which were included in our study. Categorical outcomes were compared between study groups using chi-square test. P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Our study has shown that smaller lesions more likely to be ELs or benign lung tumors. Eighty percent of ELs had a size <1.5 cm (P=0.056) and the other tumor types had a size ≥1.5 cm.Conclusions: These tumors are difficult to diagnose due to their nonspecific presenting complaints unless pulmonologists maintain a high index of suspicion. Treatment options such surgical resection (SR) or bronchoscopic resection (BR) are available and interventions should be planned on a case-by-case basis by a multidisciplinary team.

“…Furthermore, there is no epidemiological data due to the lack of large prospective or retrospective clinical studies. Through individual review of most up-to-date case reports and reviews of each individual tumor, we present the prevalence of each tumor as percentage of primary pulmonary tumors (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) or as number of reported cases as well as gender predominance, age predominance and associated risk factors, Table 2 (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28).…”

“…Besides, the curvilinear EBUS can be used to evaluate the mediastinal lymph nodes for metastasis (57). The diagnostic approach for most the rare airway tumors discussed in this review follow the above approach (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). There are subtle differences in the diagnostic work-up for these tumors depending on the extent of the disease.…”

“…Endoscopic approach is preferred over surgical approach in patients with multiple co-morbidities and high surgical risk. Other treatment such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and anti-inflammatory drugs may be used in conjunction with surgical or endoscopic management or as palliation for patient who have tumors that are candidates for endoscopic or surgical management (3,4,6,7,9,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23). A summary of most employed treatment modalities for rare airway tumors is provided in Table 4 (26,32,36,47,49,(58)(59)(60)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67).…”
