Tracheobronchial Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is a rare tumor
with very few cases reported in medical literature. These tumors typically
present as endobronchial mass and/or mucosal infiltration together with
lymphadenopathy. They are often misdiagnosed as asthma or chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease. Involvement of central airway can cause respiratory failure
making treatment difficult, leading to poor prognosis. Histopathological
examination is often necessary for definitive diagnosis. These tumors have been
a topic of interest due to the challenge they pose to early diagnosis and
management Here, we report a uncommon case of primary tracheobronchial NHL and
complications encountered during management. This case illustrates that NHL
should also be considered as a differential diagnosis in patient who present
with central airway obstruction.
