El linfoma no hodgkiniano (LNH) mediastínico primario es una patología poco frecuente que puede cursar con afectación pulmonar secundaria. Se presenta el caso de un paciente varón de 37 años que se diagnosticó, mediante biopsia bronquial endoscópica, de un LNH de celularidad mixta tipo B. Se resalta su peculiar presentación clinicorradiológica, la utilidad diagnóstica de la fibrobroncoscopia y se revisan aspectos clinicopatológicos de interés para este tipo de procesos linfoproliferativos de afectación torácica.

Primary mediastinal non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare entity that can manifests with secondary pulmonary involvement.

The case of a 37 years-old man patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma mixed B-cell, which was diagnosed by means of bronchoscopic biopsy, is presented. His characteristics clinical and radiologic presentation, and diagnostic usefulness of fiberoptic bronchoscopy, is remarked. We revised clinical and pathologic features of interests for this lymphoproliferative disorders with thoracic involvement.
