title: [Obturating endobronchial lipoma--bronchoscopic therapy].
abstract: We report on the case of a 77-year old man in whom a lipoma caused occlusion of the lingular bronchus with consecutive dystelectasis. The lipoma was resected via the bronchoscope with a hot snare. The incidence, clinical characteristics and treatment of endobronchial lipomas are described.
