Lipomas are common benign tumours that arise anywhere on the body. Endobronchial lipomas on the other hand are rare tumours. They may also cause obstructive complications in the bronchial tree. Their presentations may vary from being asymptomatic to stridor accompanied by haemoptysis. We describe a case of endobronchial lipoma and its subsequent management.
