Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pulmonology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma typically originates in the gastrointestinal tract but can occur in extranodal sites.
  • MALT lymphoma is a B-cell lymphoma arising from MALT, a component of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue and other mucosal surfaces.

Observation:

  • A 32-year-old woman presented with persistent breathlessness, initially misdiagnosed as bronchial asthma.
  • Imaging revealed mediastinal shift, dextrocardia, left lung emphysema, and a significant mass obstructing the left main bronchus.
  • Fiberoptic bronchoscopy identified polypoid lesions causing near-total obstruction of the left main bronchus.

Findings:

  • Bronchoscopic biopsy confirmed the mass as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.

  • This represents an unusual presentation of MALT lymphoma in the bronchial tree.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering extranodal MALT lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of unexplained respiratory symptoms.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal management of pulmonary MALT lymphoma is warranted.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis through bronchoscopy and biopsy is crucial for effective treatment of bronchial MALT lymphoma.
