Endobronchial Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma: A Report of Two Cases and a Review of the Literature

Primary endobronchial mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (EML) is rare. We reviewed 20 cases of EML, including ours and case reports. We found that the location of tumor in 70% of these cases was limited to the trachea and main bronchus, and the form of tumor in 61% of these cases was severa...

Sumario:Primary endobronchial mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (EML) is rare. We reviewed 20 cases of EML, including ours and case reports. We found that the location of tumor in 70% of these cases was limited to the trachea and main bronchus, and the form of tumor in 61% of these cases was several nodular protrusions. If a patient exhibits these characteristics, adequate specimen collection on bronchoscopy is important. Because the prognosis for patients with EML is good, tumors on the trachea and main bronchus should be treated, while those on the peripheral airway can be watched carefully.
