Overview

Case report reveals effective airway management and treatment of DLBCL in an elderly woman, suggesting importance of early diagnosis.

Key Points

  • The case aims to highlight the rarity and severe consequences of malignant lymphoma in the trachea.
  • Reported a case involving a 64-year-old woman with respiratory symptoms and diagnosed with DLBCL.
  • Utilized computed tomography and bronchoscopic examination for evaluation.
  • Initiated corticosteroid therapy and chemotherapy (R-CHOP) after diagnosis.
  • CT revealed a tumor causing airway narrowing to 8 mm, further decreasing to 6 mm despite initial treatment.
  • Corticosteroid therapy led to modest improvement in respiratory condition.
  • After one chemotherapy cycle, the tumor had almost completely regressed.
