Diagnosis With Brief Discussion
- Diagnosis
- Pulmonary Lymphoma of the BALT (bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue)
- Radiologic Findings
- Chest radiograph shows multiple nodular opacity in both lung. Coronal reconstructed CT scan and axial CT scans also show multiple variable sized nodules in both lung with scattering without zonal predominance. Histopathologic examination on the specimen obtained by wedge resection of RML shows dominant population of obviously atypical large cells, as well as the destruction of lung parenchyma. Note the coarse chromatin and highly irregular and distinct nuclear shape. Immuoreactivity for CD20 is strong in this B-cell large cell lymphoma of the lung.
