Abstract

Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the lung is an uncommon disease that is considered to be a benign lesion of a polyclonal lymphoid proliferation. Because of its rarity, little is known about the clinicopathologic characteristics of nodular lymphoid hyperplasia. Some researchers have questioned whether nodular lymphoid hyperplasias are truly reactive or are marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (low-grade lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) mimicking reactive lymphoid processes. We present the case of a 67-year-old woman with nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the lung and discuss the current knowledge concerning nodular lymphoid hyperplasias.

摘要

肺结节样淋巴组织增生是一种罕见疾病，被认为是多克隆淋巴细胞增殖的良性病变。由于其罕见性，关于肺结节样淋巴组织增生的临床病理特征知之甚少。一些研究人员质疑肺结节样淋巴组织增生是否真的是反应性的，还是模仿反应性淋巴过程的边缘区B细胞淋巴瘤（黏膜相关淋巴组织低度淋巴瘤）。我们报告一例67岁女性肺结节样淋巴组织增生病例，并讨论目前关于肺结节样淋巴组织增生的认识。
