Summary A report on a 74-year old woman with high-grade malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma in clinical remission, who suddenly developed episodes of severe dyspnea and wheezing. Clinical and roentgenographic investigations including tomography of the trachea failed to demonstrate any lesion. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed and endotracheal, polyp-like lymphoma 3 cm above the carina, which was immediately operated. Other sites of relapse (submandibular lymphnodes) were found 2 weeks after the operation. Second-line chemotherapy (IMVP 16) was able to induce a second remission.
