Abstract

An extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) is the most frequent type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that primarily involves the lung. The radiographical discovery of a pulmonary lesion in an asymptomatic patient is the most common clinical presentation. In general, the prognosis of a localized extranodal pulmonary marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of MALT type is excellent. We report a case of a 61-year-old man who sought evaluation of an incidentally discovered mass in the lung.

폐에 발생하는 변연부 B-세포 림프종은 드문 질환으로 예후는 양호하다. 저자들은 우연히 발견된 폐종괴로 내원한 61세 남자 환자에서 폐조직생검으로 진단된 변연부 B-세포 림프종 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
