Key result
Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy enables diagnosis of rare pulmonary MALT lymphoma in 2 cases after nondiagnostic biopsies.
Why the study?
Primary pulmonary lymphomas, most commonly MALT lymphoma, are rare and traditionally challenging to diagnose bronchoscopically due to small sample sizes and required ancillary testing.

May warrant robotic bronchoscopy for rare PPL diagnosis after failed biopsies; extends evidence but remains hypothesis-generating.
Bronchoscopic techniques, including robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, can be effective in diagnosing rare pulmonary MALT lymphomas despite traditional challenges.
Nasim et al. (2026) studied this question. Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy enabled diagnosis of pulmonary MALT lymphoma in two cases after prior nondiagnostic biopsies, highlighting its utility in rare PPLs.
