Abstract

Endobronchial involvement is a very rare manifestation of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which if left untreated, may cause airway obstruction and lead to respiratory failure. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature. This aim of this case report is to highlight the importance of having a high index of suspicion of endobronchial lymphoma in patients presenting with endobronchial lesions either in isolation or in conjunction with widespread lymphadenopathy.
