In this case report we describe a patient who was diagnosed with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) at two different body sites, namely at the mucosa of the stomach and the lung. Since the patient presented with a main complaint of dyspnoea, this was a rather unexpected medical finding. To our knowledge, this is even the first case of multifocal EMZL in which the coexistent involvement of the stomach and lung is extensively documented. All medical and technical investigations that were performed during diagnosis and staging are described whilst discussing the typical characteristics of these kinds of lymphomas as stated in current guidelines and literature.
在本病例报告中,我们描述了一名在两个不同身体部位,即胃黏膜和肺部被诊断为结外边缘区淋巴瘤(EMZL)的患者。由于患者的主要诉求是呼吸困难,这是一个相当意外的医学发现。据我们所知,这甚至是第一例多灶性EMZL病例,其中胃和肺同时受累的情况有广泛记录。在讨论当前指南和文献中所述的这类淋巴瘤的典型特征时,描述了诊断和分期过程中进行的所有医学和技术检查。
