ABSTRACT
A sixty-five year old female was consulted for radiation therapy due to dyspnea. She was diagnosed as stage IV bronchial-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) lymphoma at 5 months ago, and then received chemotherapy for 3 months. She have distressed from dyspnea originated from main bronchus obstruction, and should be supplied with oxygen via nasal prong. She underwent 36 Gy radiation therapy to bronchial mass that obstructs left main bronchus in 18 fractions for four weeks. Dyspnea was markedly improved after radiation therapy, and follow-up chest X-ray showed near complete resolution of mass and obstructed lung parenchyma. No recurrence was detected in lung for sixteen months. We experienced that radiation therapy for BALT lymphoma was effective for tumor control.
