Abstract
Bronchus-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma (BALToma) is a rare extranodal B cell neoplasm with non-specific clinical and radiological manifestations, therby resulting in erroneous plus delayed diagnosis. Herein we present the case of a middle aged lady who was on anti tubercular treatment for her constitutional symptoms and was referred to us for management of new onset stridor. BALToma diagnosis was made after detailed evaluation of this patient and she had excellent to chemotherapy.
