Pulmonary Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma: A Report of 2 Cases and Literature Review
Journal Title: Diseases & Research - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is indolent and progresses more slowly than other malignant lymphomas. The clinical features are not specific and the diagnosis can often be difficult. Here, we present two rare cases of pulmonary MALT lymphoma. Both patients were incidentally found lesions in the lungs with chest computed tomogra-phy during physical examination. They were finally diagnosed by pathological biopsy. One received complete resection, the other was treated with chemotherapy. There were no recurrence in the two patients during follow-up. We also review relevant literature to provide a better recognition of this disease.
