[Lipoma of bronchus (author's transl)].
Lipomas of bronchus have a special clinical importance because of their predominantly endobronchial growth. Chronic obstruction and stenosis result in irreversible changes of lung. The clinical symptomatology is untypical. The X-ray examination points to the right diagnosis. The tumour can be localized bronchoscopically and recognized macromorphologically. The histological examination of a biopsy results in the exact diagnosis. This is a report of two cases.
