摘要
Most patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) present with peripheral lymph node enlargement, with or without systemic symptoms. NHL may also involve mediastinal, intra-abdominal and pelvic lymph nodes with resulting symptoms. They may involve only an extranodal site, such as part of the gastrointestinal tract, lung, brain or testis. Extranodal presentation is more common in NHL than in Hodgkin’s disease. Primary endotracheobronchial involvement in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a rare presentation. From 1989 to the present, only 3 cases of primary tracheal NHL were reported in Medline.
