Lobar consolidation on chest X-rays can mimic infection. This case highlights a rare presentation of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma causing persistent consolidation, emphasizing the need to consider non-infectious causes.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Lobar consolidation on chest X-rays is commonly attributed to infectious pneumonia.
  • Persistent or atypical consolidation warrants a broader differential diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 66-year-old female presented with persistent lobar consolidation on chest X-rays over several years.
  • The patient was diagnosed with low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type.

Findings:

  • Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma can manifest as lobar consolidation, mimicking infectious processes.
  • This presentation underscores the importance of considering neoplastic etiologies in persistent pulmonary findings.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider non-infectious causes, such as MALT lymphoma, in patients with persistent lobar consolidation.
  • Radiological findings of lobar consolidation require careful evaluation to differentiate between infectious and malignant etiologies.
