Abstract

AbstractA 60‐year‐old man was noted to have an elevated lesion in the right mainstem bronchus on chest computed tomography (CT) during his annual medical checkup 3 years previously. The lesion had gradually increased in size. FDG‐PET showed no accumulation. Bronchoscopy revealed 5 nodular smooth surface protrusions on the ventral surface of the right mainstem bronchus, with the largest lesion that measured 5 mm in diameter. Biopsy showed diffuse infiltration of small lymphocytes, positive for CD20 and subsequently diagnosed with mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. The lesions disappeared on chest CT after radiotherapy, and no recurrence has been observed after 5 years. We reviewed 48 cases of endobronchial MALT lymphoma in the literature and provided a comprehensive review of the literature to date including our case.
