Abstract:
Lymphoma is a frequent complication of HIV infection, but we report a rare localization in the subglottic tracheal area. A case of tracheal stenosis due to lymphoma in an HIV-infected patient is presented. The main complaint was severe dyspnea. Chemotherapy was ineffective but radiotherapy improved the patient's condition and increased the caliber of the tracheal lumen.
