Abstract

Tracheal neoplasms are uncommon, with non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma being even rarer at this level. The clinical presentation of this entity is highly variable and its symptoms are very non-specific, simulating several diseases, thus generating a late diagnosis. Currently, there are several diagnostic aids that allow us to rule out other pathologies and confirm tracheal neoplasia, in addition, biopsy is essential to reach the final diagnosis and thus establish management in early stages to impact morbi­dity and mortality. We present the case of a patient with non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma as a cause of tracheal obstruction.
