Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Pulmonary involvement of cutaneous T cell lymphoma
Radiologic Findings
Fig 1. Chest PA shows multiple nodular opacities in both lungs.
Fig 2-4. CT scan reveals multiple nodules with or without peripheral ground-glass opacity in both lungs.
Brief Review
Wedge resection of the right upper lobe was performed in the current patient. Malignant lymphoma of T-cell lineage was pathologically diagnosed.
Cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders that are characterized by the location of malignant T-lymphocytes in the skin at presentation. The classic subsets of this disease are mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome. Patients’ immunocompromised status leads to death from opportunistic infection or sepsis. In its later stages, mycosis fungoides can cause peripheral lymphadenopathy and may progress to widespread extra cutaneous visceral involvement. The lungs are among the most common sites of visceral involvement and its incidence is less than 1% of all patients with CTCL.
Patients with lung involvement of CTCL have few respiratory symptoms and presented with nodular disease on chest radiograph that progressed over time.
The radiologic manifestation of pulmonary involvement of CTCL includes peribronchovascular nodules with surrounding ground-glass opacities, multiple bilateral parenchymal nodular densities, patchy areas of consolidation, bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, interstitial infiltrations with or without hilar lymphadenopathy, and pleural effusion without underlying parenchymal disease.
