Pulmonary extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) presenting as a progressive pure ground-glass nodule (GGN) coexisting with lung squamous cell carcinoma has not been reported. A 65-year-old male presented with a progressive lung GGN in the left upper lobe identified six and a half years ago but showed no symptoms. The patient had a history of tuberculosis, squamous cell carcinoma, and stomach MALT lymphoma. The patient was diagnosed with lung squamous cell carcinoma coexisting with pulmonary MALT lymphoma through computed tomography (CT)-guided lung biopsy. A progressive lung GGN presenting in a patient with squamous cell carcinoma does not always indicate multiple primary lung adenocarcinoma, especially when given a specific medical history. The development of MALT lymphoma in the lung presenting as GGNs suggests a possible association between these two entities.
表现为进行性纯磨玻璃结节(GGN)且与肺鳞状细胞癌共存的黏膜相关淋巴组织(MALT)肺结外边缘区淋巴瘤尚未见报道。一名65岁男性,6年半前发现左上叶有一个进行性肺GGN,但无症状。该患者有肺结核、鳞状细胞癌和胃MALT淋巴瘤病史。通过计算机断层扫描(CT)引导下的肺活检,该患者被诊断为肺鳞状细胞癌与肺MALT淋巴瘤共存。鳞状细胞癌患者出现进行性肺GGN并不总是提示多原发性肺腺癌,特别是在有特定病史的情况下。表现为GGN的肺MALT淋巴瘤的发生提示这两种病变之间可能存在关联。
