Angiocentric T-cell lymphoma is a peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) which typically involves nose and upper respiratory system mostly presenting as a multisystemic disease. Intrathoracic involvement is common in NHL and the most common manifestation is mediastinal lymphadenopathy. However, malignant lymphomas presenting within the lung are rare and may be either primary or a manifestation of widely disseminated disease. We report a case with multiple pulmonary nodules mimicking metastatic carcinoma of the lung. This type of involvement is not common: when extensive, as in our case, differential diagnosis from metastatic carcinoma is essential.
血管中心性T细胞淋巴瘤是一种外周T细胞淋巴瘤（PTCL），通常累及鼻腔和上呼吸道，多表现为多系统疾病。胸腔受累在非霍奇金淋巴瘤（NHL）中很常见，最常见的表现是纵隔淋巴结肿大。然而，肺部出现的恶性淋巴瘤很少见，可能是原发性的，也可能是广泛播散性疾病的一种表现。我们报告一例表现为多发肺结节、酷似肺转移癌的病例。这种受累情况并不常见：像我们病例中那样广泛时，与转移癌进行鉴别诊断至关重要。
