Primary tracheal B-cell lymphoma causing recurrent central airway obstruction.
Primary malignant tumors of the trachea are very uncommon, and can often be confused with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Tracheal tumors are very rare, with an incidence of less than 0.01%; most are squamous cell carcinomas.1 Very few cases of primary tracheal lymphoma causing central airway obstruction have been described to date.2 A 72-year-old man was admitted with d...
متن کاملSolitary primary tracheal small-cell lung cancer causing acute respiratory failure: diagnosis and treatment.
Small-cell lung cancer often presents as an extensive cancer, and rarely as a solitary tracheal tumor. We report a 41-year-old male smoker with dyspnea and wheezing that was initially diagnosed as asthma and treated with bronchodilators. He was later intubated for acute respiratory failure, and computed tomography revealed a tracheal mass. Solitary primary small-cell lung cancer was diagnosed v...
متن کاملTracheal stenting for primary tracheal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma
Primary tracheal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is extremely rare. We report a 49-year-old female patient with the complaint of dyspnea. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy showed polypoid, variable-sized and irregular nodules causing narrowing of the tracheal lumen from the proximal trachea to the left main bronchus. Because of severe stenosis in the airway and the severity of symptoms,...
متن کاملAn Unusual Suspect Causing Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
Introduction: Antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) is characterized by the presence of anti-Jo-1 antibodies in conjunction with clinical findings of fever, polymyositis-dermatomyositis, and interstitial lung disease (ILD). Inflammatory myopathies carry a high risk of malignancy, but this association is less well outlined in ASS. We present the case of a patient with ASS who developed non-Hodgkin's lym...
متن کاملNeuromuscular disease causing acute respiratory failure.
In the developed world, Guillain-Barré syndrome and myasthenia gravis account for the majority of cases of acute respiratory failure associated with neuromuscular disease. The 4 components that contribute to respiratory failure are upper-airway dysfunction, inspiratory-muscle weakness, expiratory-muscle weakness, and the pulmonary complications associated with these conditions. Careful observat...
