Isolated pulmonary lymphoma, though rare, presents diverse clinical and radiological features. Accurate diagnosis and classification are crucial for varied treatment approaches in lung lymphoma.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Isolated pulmonary lymphoma is a rare condition, constituting less than 1% of extranodal localized lymphomas.
  • The lung can be primarily affected by large B-cell lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma with an angiocentric pattern, or the most common subtype, low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.
  • MALT lymphoma, often indolent, has historically been misdiagnosed as a pseudotumor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the recognition and classification of primary lung lymphomas.
  • To describe the clinical, pathological, and radiological characteristics of pulmonary lymphomas.
  • To emphasize the importance of precise diagnosis for guiding treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature and case studies on primary pulmonary lymphomas.

  • Analysis of diagnostic criteria based on World Health Organization (WHO) classification.
  • Correlation of radiological findings with histological subtypes.

    • Main Results:

    • Pulmonary lymphoma presents with varied symptoms including cough, dyspnea, and fever, or may be asymptomatic.
    • Radiological findings encompass consolidation, opacities, hilar adenopathy, and pleural effusion.
    • Accurate pathological diagnosis and molecular characterization are essential for differentiating subtypes.

    Conclusions:

    • Primary lung lymphomas require careful pathological and molecular evaluation for accurate classification.
    • Understanding the distinct histological subtypes (B-cell, T-cell, MALT) is key to management.
    • Treatment principles are histology-dependent, necessitating tailored therapeutic strategies.
