Endoscopic removal of a pedunculated bronchial lipoma by means of the hot snare

The complete endoscopic removal by means of the hot snare of a pedunculated bronchial lipoma with a carcinoma in situ in its covering bronchial epithelium is reported. To our knowledge, the endoscopic removal of peripheral polypoid bronchial lesions has not been reported to date. The advantage of th...

Summary:	The complete endoscopic removal by means of the hot snare of a pedunculated bronchial lipoma with a carcinoma in situ in its covering bronchial epithelium is reported. To our knowledge, the endoscopic removal of peripheral polypoid bronchial lesions has not been reported to date. The advantage of this technique lies in its ability to permit an exact histologic examination of the lesion, in contrast to laser vaporisation.
