Abstract:
Endobronchial involvement in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is rare. We experienced 36-year-old woman with endobronchial non-Hodgkin's lymphoma whose first presentation was breathless ness due to the total atelectasis of the left lung. The patient underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopy and the histologic finding with immunohistochemical staining confirmed CD30(+), EMA(+) anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Although the patient showed dramatic response to radiation therapy and combination chemotherapy, subsequently she died of disease progression.
