Abstract
Primary tracheal non-Hodgkin lymphoma is an extremely rare entity without consensus management strategy. We present a case of primary tracheal lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma masquerading as asthma with wheezing and progressive dyspnea. A patented nitinol mesh stent was implanted in the right lateral cervical region 3 weeks before tumor resection. After 5.5-cm-long segmental tracheal resection, a neotracheal tube was constructed with cervical myocutaneous flap sandwiched around the implanted mesh stent, which was then anastomosed with the residual of the patient's trachea. The patient has been well for 30 months.
