A 40-year-old male presented with clinical and radiological manifestations of right lung atelectasis and post-obstructive pneumonia. Flexible bronchoscopy revealed gross narrowing of the right upper lobe bronchus and a smooth, white endobronchial mass completely occluding the right lower lobe bronchus. Endobronchial biopsy from the mass lesion yielded low grade B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This is one of the rarest presentation of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
