Abstract:
Primary tracheal tumors, especially lipoma, are very rare. Symptoms of tracheal tumor mimic common upper airway diseases. It is important that they may initially be misdiagnosi4 to bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, resulting in a delay in diagnosis. We report a case of tracheal lipoma who was found 6 months after first noticing symptoms including dyspnea, foreign body sensation, successfully removed by bronchoscopic polypectomy.
