Abstract:
Clinical data of 13 patients with primary pulmonary lymphoma(PPL),treated in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from January 1999 to December 2009,were retrospectively reviewed.There were 8 patients with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT)marginal zone lymphoma,2 patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma,1 patient with NK/T cell lymphoma,1 patient with nodular sclerosis Hodgkin's lymphoma,and 1 patients with lymphocytic predominance Hodgkin's lymphoma.The main clinical symptoms were cough,fever,night sweat and weight loss.Two patients did not have any symptoms.Pulmonary consolidation shadows and multiple nodules were the main findings of CT scan.An air bronchogram was often seen in the consolidation imaging.The overall 5-year survival rate was 9/13 for all patients;while that was 7/8 for MALT marginal gone lymphoma.
