The Cause of Chronic Cough A Rare Endobronchial Lesion: Lymphoma

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are tumors that originate from lymphoid tissues, mainly lymph nodes, consisting of B cells, T cells and natural killer cells. Extranodal lymphomas can also occur in any organ of the body, and endobronchial localization is extremely rare. Cough is a condition that impairs the patient's quality of life when it lasts for a long time. Cough exceeding 8 weeks is called chronic cough. The causes of chronic cough are many and sometimes it can be difficult to diagnose. It can be difficult to make a diagnosis with the tests performed in the first place. A stepwise approach is required at the diagnosis stage. We have presented here a patient who was diagnosed with lymphoma after the examinations, who was admitted to us with a cough that did not resolve despite medical treatment, due to the rare occurrence of endobronchial lymphomas.
