Respiration. 1998;65(2):156-8. doi: 10.1159/000029248.

Abstract

We present a case of CD30+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) with a unusual endobronchial polypoid mass. There was para-aortic lymphadenopathy on the CT scan. This case illustrates that ALCL should be included in the differential diagnosis of endobronchial mass lesions.
