ABSTRACT
Primary malignant lymphomas of the lung are rare neoplasms representing 3.6% of all extranodal lymphomas and less than 1% of pulmonary malignancies, with its distinct clinicopathological features. A 60-year-old symptomatic man, who was a former non-smoker, had a cough and sputum. Chest roentgenogram and computed tomographic scan showed the presence of a posterior mass in the basal segment of the right lung. Transthoracic needle aspiration cytology was inadequate for the diagnosis of cancer. A subsequent right thoracotomy was carried out, which showed a primary pulmonary lymphoma of the bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue.
