Abstract

A 74-year-old man with prior stage IE gastric MALT lymphoma presented with blood-stained sputum. Autofluorescence imaging (AFI) bronchoscopy revealed bilateral endobronchial lesions; with biopsies confirmed MALT lymphoma. Positron emission tomography computed tomography showed right upper lobe lesion without nodal disease. He received rituximab, with complete metabolic response. AFI facilitated early airway-focused diagnosis.
