Abstract
Case. A 57-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of stridor, dyspnea on effort, and sensations of chest and back oppression. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed right hilar lymphadenopathy (#118). EBUS-TBNA was performed. Tissue specimens obtained by EBUS-TBNA revealed lymphoid follicle-like structure. Frozen specimens obtained by redo EBUS-TBNA later demonstrated IgH gene rearrangement and fusion of IgH-BCL2. Given the results of immunohistochemistry as well as the gene analysis, this case was diagnosed as follicular lymphoma. Conclusion. Accurate diagnosis of lymphoma requires identification of subtypes for subsequent treatment strategies. Thus, it is necessary to make optimal arrangements in advance for obtaining specimens from lesions suspected to be lymphoma by EBUS-TBNA.
