Core Tip

Core Tip: We reported a case of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) with endobronchial involvement. MCL with endobronchial involvement is very rare. Only five such cases have been previously reported. Positron emission tomography - computed tomography is recommended for differential diagnosis and detection of extranodal sites of MCL. A pathological diagnosis can be made based on an endobronchial biopsy by bronchoscopy but doctors should prompt efforts to establish enough tissues.
