Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Benign neoplasm of the endobronchial tree is quite rare, while endobronchial lipoma is extremely rare. Tracheobronchial aspergillosis is a relatively uncommon but severe form of invasive aspergillosis involving the tracheobronchial tree.
PATIENT CONCERNS
A 54-year-old male presented to our hospital for investigation and treatment of a cough and hemoptysis.
DIAGNOSIS
The diagnosis was confirmed as endobronchial lipoma with tracheobronchial aspergillosis.
INTERVENTIONS
The patient received pneumonectomy and voriconazole treatment.
OUTCOMES
The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and he was discharged 10 days after surgery. The patient had no evidence of the fungal infection and recurrence during 1 year of follow-up.
CONCLUSION
Endobronchial lipoma is a rare benign lung tumor, and this is the first report of endobronchial lipoma with tracheobronchial aspergillosis. In patients with suspected endobronchial lipoma, especially those who present with hemoptysis as the initial symptom, it is advisable to exclude coexistent aspergillosis.
