Epstein-Barr virus-related smooth muscle tumours (EBV-SMTs) are a rare but well recognized non-AIDS-defining malignancy that can also be found in several other immunosuppressed states. Pulmonary involvement of EBV-SMTs is not uncommon, but it can present with multifocal lesions in any anatomical site. The present article describes an HIV-positive woman with dyspnea who was found to have a large tracheal EBV-SMT. The authors discuss their approach to diagnosis and management, and present unique follow-up bronchoscopic imaging.
爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒相关的平滑肌瘤(EBV-SMTs)是一种罕见但已得到充分认识的非艾滋病界定性恶性肿瘤,在其他几种免疫抑制状态下也可发现。EBV-SMTs累及肺部并不少见,但可在任何解剖部位出现多灶性病变。本文描述了一名出现呼吸困难的HIV阳性女性,她被发现患有一个巨大的气管EBV-SMT。作者讨论了他们的诊断和管理方法,并展示了独特的随访支气管镜成像。
