Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
BALT Lymphoma
Radiologic Findings
Chest radiograph shows an increased opacity in right lower lung zone with obliteration of the right atrial border. Thin section CT scans show the consolidation in right middle lobe with surrounding ground-glass and fine reticular opacity. Note focal posterior bulging of major fissure at the area of dense consolidation.

Histopathologic examination on the specimen obtained by transbronchial lung biopsy shows diffuse infiltrates of small atypical centrocyte-like lymphocytes, with destroyed bronchiolar wall (“lymphoepithelial lesions”). These findings are consistent with of low grade B-cell lymphoma.
