Abstract
Benign tracheobronchial tumors are rare and represent 1.9% of all intrathoracic tumors. Endobronchial lipoma accounts for less than 0.5% of benign bronchopulmonary tumors. The clinical signs are not specific. We report a case of a 45-year-old patient with chronic bronchorrhoea who consulted for the worsening of his bronchorrhea. The clinical examination was normal. Chest CT revealed atelectasis of the left lower lobe and localized bronchial dilatations revealing an endobronchial tumor on bronchoscopy. The histological study was in favor of a lipoma. The evolution was favorable.
