Abstract
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is one of the common forms of peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCL) that usually presents as painless lymphadenopathy. Extra nodal presentations are common in the skin but rare in the lung (1). In this article we present the case of a 21 years old male who had no significant previous medical history but recently started complaining from shortness of breath, cough and white sputum. CT scan with IV contrast of the chest revealed an ill-defined heterogeneous mass approximately 6 cm in size, protruding into the lumen of the right main bronchus. Endobronchial ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) was performed. Cytology revealed numerous large and highly atypical malignant cells. Further evaluation via bronchoscopy also showed an endobronchial nodular mass. A biopsy taken from the mass confirmed the diagnosis of ALCL. The clinical and pathological features of this rare pulmonary presentation of ALCL are described together with literature review.
