Pulmonary malignancies carry a significant morbidity and mortality and are one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Primary pulmonary lymphoma is a rare malignancy which should be considered in the differential of solitary pulmonary nodule or lung mass especially in a low-risk patient presenting with constitutional symptoms. Here, we describe a case of an elderly male who presented to our clinic with incidental pulmonary nodules and subsequent workup revealed low grade B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma consistent with diagnosis of primary pulmonary marginal zone lymphoma.
肺部恶性肿瘤具有较高的发病率和死亡率,是全球癌症相关死亡的主要原因之一。原发性肺淋巴瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,在孤立性肺结节或肺部肿块的鉴别诊断中应予以考虑,尤其是在伴有全身症状的低风险患者中。在此,我们描述一例老年男性患者,他因偶然发现肺部结节前来我院就诊,随后的检查显示为低级别B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤,符合原发性肺边缘区淋巴瘤的诊断。
