Abstract

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma seldom, if ever, involves the tracheobronchial tree, and it manifests as a diffuse infiltrating pattern with clinically apparent systemic lymphoma. Endobronchial involvement presenting as an endobronchial polypoid mass is far rarer. We report here on a case of diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that presented as an endobronchial polypopid mass obstructing the central bronchi and this led to lobar atelectasis.
