Abstract
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.Entities:
