Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
MALT lymphoma
Radiologic Findings
Fig 1-4. Contrast-enhanced CT image shows a paravertebral posterior mediastinal mass. The elongated mass shows homogeneous enhancement (average HU 77).
Brief Review
MALT lymphoma is a monoclonal lymphoid proliferation arising from a B-cell progenitor within bronchial associated lymphoid tissue (BALT), and is classified as low-grade marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. Radiography shows nodules, masses, and/or consolidation. CT shows multiple nodules, masses, and/or nodular/mass-like areas of ground-glass attenuation or consolidation, which tend to be in a bronchovascular distribution and often show air bronchogram. Halo of ground-glass shadowing or peribronchovascular thickening at tumor margins, and discrete patches of ground glass shadowing, positive angiogram sign on contrast enhanced CT can also be seen. Slowly progressive pulmonary consolidation in conjunction with a supportive history of autoimmune disease or lymphoma in another mucosal site should strongly suggest the diagnosis of MALT lymphoma. MALT lymphoma lesions are hypermetabolic at PET/CT approximately half of the time. Treatment is usually with chemotherapy or immunotherapy (rituximab). Surgery and radiation therapy are options available for localized disease. The prognosis is good, with 5- and 10-year survival rates ranging from 84% to 88%.
