Abstract

A 88-year-old woman with refractory wheezing and a transient response to corticosteroids was diagnosed with primary tracheal B-cell lymphoma causing airway stenosis. Emergency radiotherapy markedly improved the stenosis. Tracheal lymphoma should be considered in patients with recurrent wheezing despite asthma treatment, even when corticosteroids provide temporary relief.
