The Authors report a case of endobronchial lipoma, a rare, benign lung lesion. Literature data show that a correct preoperative diagnosis of nature is possible in less than 50% of all the cases and a thoracotomy is mandatory in 85% of the patients because FNAB or brushing rarely allow a certain cytological diagnosis. When a benign tumor is suspected, an endobronchial resection is the treatment of choice, allowing a correct histological diagnosis and in the same time a definitive therapy with resolution of symptoms. Surgical option is reserved for the not certainly determined benign or malignant lesions.
