The Cause of Chronic Cough A Rare Endobronchial Lesion: Lymphoma

Abstract

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are tumors that originate from lymphoid tissues, mainly lymph nodes, consisting of B cells, T cells and natural killer cells. Extranodal lymphomas can also occur in any organ of the body, and endobronchial localization is extremely rare. Cough is a condition that impairs the patient's quality of life when it lasts for a long time. Cough exceeding 8 weeks is called chronic cough. The causes of chronic cough are many and sometimes it can be difficult to diagnose. It can be difficult to make a diagnosis with the tests performed in the first place. A stepwise approach is required at the diagnosis stage. We have presented here a patient who was diagnosed with lymphoma after the examinations, who was admitted to us with a cough that did not resolve despite medical treatment, due to the rare occurrence of endobronchial lymphomas.

Kronik Öksürük Sebebi, Nadir Görülen Bir Endobronşiyal Lezyon: Lenfoma

Abstract

Non-Hodgkin lenfomalar, B hücreleri, T hücreleri ve natural killer hücrelerinden oluşan lenfoid dokulardan, esas olarak lenf düğümlerinden kaynaklanan tümörlerdir. Extranodal lenfomalar da vücudun herhangi bir organında görülebilir ve endobronşiyal yerleşim oldukça nadir görülmektedir. Öksürük uzun sürdüğü zaman hastanın yaşam kalitesini bozan bir durumdur. 8 haftayı geçen öksürük kronik öksürük olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Kronik öksürük nedenleri çok fazladır ve bazen tanısı zor koyulabilmektedir. İlk etapta yapılan tetkikler ile tanıya gitmek zor olabilmektedir. Tanı aşamasında basamaklı yaklaşım yapılması gerekmektedir. Biz burada medikal tedaviye rağmen geçmeyen öksürük nedeni ile tarafımıza başvuran ve yapılan tetkikler sonrasında lenfoma tanısı alan bir hastamızı, endobronşiyal lenfomaların nadir görülmesi sebebi ile sunmayı amaçladık.
