Endobronchial lipoma accompanied with primary lung cancer: report of a case.
A 72-year-old man was found to have an endobronchial lipoma accompanied with primary lung cancer. A left lower lobectomy with a mediastinal lymph node dissection and a sleeve resection of the lingual bronchus with telescoping bronchial anastomosis were done. The pathological staging was T1N2M0, stage IIIA. A histological examination showed well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in segment 10, in addition to the presence of mature adipose tissue which was diagnosed to be a benign endobronchial lipoma originating from the lingual bronchus. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged 13 days after the operation. However, he had a recurrence in the subcarinal lymph node, and died 8 months after surgery.
