July 2023 Medical Image of the Month: Primary Tracheal Lymphoma

No abstract available. Article truncated after 150 words. A 72-year-old woman was referred to our practice from an outside hospital with a history of tracheal mass with impending airway compromise. She originally presented with several days of dyspnea, stridor, and an increasingly muffled voice. She also provided a history of severe shortness of breath, but only when eating. Interestingly, she had no trouble swallowing. CXR findings at the outside hospital (Figure 1) prompted a CT (Figure 2A), which further prompted transfer of patient to our facility. The patient had a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnea. Her past surgical history included C-section and hysterectomy. The patient was a never-smoker with no significant drinking or drug usage history. The patient had no recent travel or exposure history. Review of symptoms otherwise negative. Although the patient had no formal diagnosis of asthma, she was on Mometasone/formoterol, 2 puffs bid and also had an albuterol rescue …

Primary malt-tracheal lymphoma: case report

Background. Tracheal cancer accounts 2 % of all upper respiratory tract cancers, with the incidence of 0.1 cases per 100,000 people per year. Primary tracheal MALT-lymphoma is extremely rare, and therefore there is no clearly established approach to the treatment of this disease. There are several effective positions regarding the choice of therapy. This article discusses the feasibility of endoscopic surgical treatment of primary tracheal lymphoma. The review of the literature presents current data on the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical features and treatment strategy for this disease. Description of the clinical case. A 72-year-old patient was admitted to the Thoracic Surgical Department of the P.A. Hertzen Cancer Research Center with complaints of shortness of breath with moderate physical exertion and dry cough. The examination revealed a tumor in the upper third of the trachea showing an exophytic growth, and grade I–III tracheal stenosis. To restore the lumen of the trachea and prevent complications, the endoscopic resection of the exophytic part of the tumor was performed. Histological and immunohistochemical studies revealed MALT-lymphoma of the trachea. Taking into consideration the indolent form of lymphoma, small size of the tumor, patient’s age and comorbidity, there were no indications for systemic anticancer therapy. The patient was recommended to be followed up. The patient is alive with no evidence of disease recurrence. Conclusion. This case report demonstrates the feasibility of performing organ-preserving endoscopic surgery in the patient with primary tracheal MALT-lymphoma. Taking into consideration the exophytic form of the tumor growth, endoscopic surgery made it possible to avoid unnecessary open tracheal resection, thus signifcantly improving the quality of life of the patient.

Primary Tracheal Lymphoma: Case Report and Literature Review

We describe a 20-year-old Japanese woman with anaplastic large cell lymphoma in whom primary tracheal involvement was associated with life-threatening airway obstruction. After debulking surgery, the patient was successfully treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. A total of 28 cases of primary tracheal lymphoma were reviewed. Common clinical features included predominance of localized disease, respiratory symptoms resembling acute asthma, absence of hemoptysis, and rapid progression of tracheal stenosis. Various histological subtypes of primary tracheal lymphoma exist and are likely to determine prognosis.

Laser Therapy for an Obstructing Primary Tracheal Lymphoma in a Patient With AIDS

A patient with AIDS presented with progressive dyspnea leading to respiratory failure with near complete airway obstruction due to primary tracheal lymphoma. Laser therapy was used locally to debulk the tumour, which facilitated extubation and led to definitive treatment with chemotherapy. Alternatives for local airway control are discussed.
