Abstract

The primary pulmonary lymphomas are uncommon, accounting for 0.5% of primary lung tumor and 0.4% of all malignant lymphomas. The majority of primary pulmonary lymphomas are of B-cell originating from bronchus associated lymphoid tissue(BALT). Angiocentric lymphoma is a rare type of primary pulmonary lymphomas characterized by polymorphic lymphoid infiltrates, which make it even more difficult to differentiate from benign infiltration. The radiographic findings are variable, depending on the stage of evolution of the disease. The prognosis of angiocentric lymphoma is poor, nearly two-thirds of the patients with grade 2 or 3 angiocentric lymphomas were died within a year of diagnosis. We report a case of primary pulmonary angiocentric lymphoma manifested as a mass of right lower lobe.

저자등은 건성기침을 주소로 내원하여 단순 흉부 방사선 촬영검사 소견상 우측 폐야에 거대종괴가 관찰되어 우하엽 절제술 및 면역조직화학 검사상 T 세포 기원의 혈관중심성 림프종으로 진단받은 1예을 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
