Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Primary pulmonary lymphoma is a rare malignancy.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on characteristic imaging findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the computed tomography (CT) findings of pathologically confirmed primary pulmonary lymphomas.
  • To correlate CT features with specific lymphoma subtypes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of CT scans from 11 patients with primary pulmonary lymphoma.
  • Radiologists assessed lesion morphology, number, distribution, and associated findings like lymphadenopathy and pleural effusion.

Main Results:

  • Airspace consolidation (pneumonia-like) was the most frequent pattern (45%).

  • Tumor-like rounded opacities and nodules were observed in 36% of cases.
  • Associated findings included air bronchogram (63%), atelectasis (36%), and lymphadenopathy (27%).

    • Conclusions:

    • CT findings of primary pulmonary lymphoma, particularly airspace consolidation, align with prior research.
    • Observed patterns and frequencies provide valuable diagnostic information for radiologists.
