Abstract EN
Relapsing lymphoma involving the trachea causing tracheal obstruction is exceedingly uncommon.
Despite its rarity, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a patient with known lymphoma presents with signs of airway obstruction such as stridor.
We report an unusual case of relapsing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with tracheal involvement in a 57-year-old female and review the relevant literature.
It is highly unusual for relapsing lymphoma to involve the trachea causing tracheal obstruction.
Despite its rarity, it can present with life-threatening airway obstruction which may be rapidly progressive requiring immediate surgical intervention such as tracheostomy.
