Abstract:
A 53-year-old man had presented to a nearby hospital with fever, dyspnea and multiple lymphadenopathy. Chest X-ray film and computed tomography had shown expanded airspace consolidations with air broncograms and surrounding ground-glass opacities in bilateral lung fields. Because his respiratory status had gradually worsened, he was transferred to our hospital and placed on the ventilator. Bronchoalveolar lavage were performed, showing abnormal lymphocytes which indicated infiltration of malignant lymphoma. Furthermore, a biopsy of the left inguinal lymph node revealed T-cell lymphoma. We finally diagnosed his pulmonary lesions as involvement of peripheral T-cell lymphoma unspecified in consideration of immunohistochemical estimation. Pulmonary involvement of malignant lymphoma is thought to be relatively uncommon. Therefore, this is considered an extremely rare case showing extensively spreading airspace consolidations and surrounding ground-glass opacities of bilateral lung fields caused by the infiltration of malignant cells along with lymphoid tissues. Because these radiological findings may indicate a severe status of lymphoma, it is necessary to diagnose and treat them immediately. From this point of view, we report this case with useful information concerning differential radiological diagnosis.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
