Abstract EN
A one-year-and-10-month-old twin boy presented with a history of breathing difficulty which started two days after adenotonsillectomy.
He clinically improved with nebulizer; however, two days later, his difficulty of breathing worsened and was associated with a runny nose, central cyanosis, snoring, apnea and reduced feeding and activity.
MRI with contrast revealed a large extensive soft tissue mass involving the sinonasal tract.
Histopathological findings of the endoscopic biopsy were conclusive for Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; diffuse large B cell lymphoma was confirmed.
Induction chemotherapy was given for two weeks.
PET scan after the chemotherapy revealed that the patient was disease-free at the time of this report.
