Primary pulmonary MALT-lymphoma mimicking pulmonary infection: a case report and overview on the pertinent literature.

Primary pulmonary extra-nodal MALT-lymphomas are very uncommon. Clinical-radiological pattern is variable and usually non-specific and a correct diagnosis usually requires the histopathological examination. Herein we report a case of a 59-year-old man presented with dyspnea at the slightest effort and dry cough. At imaging multiple pulmonary consolidations with interlobular septal thickenings and ground-glass opacities were disclosed, defining a crazy paving pattern. The surgical approach was necessary to reach the diagnosis of primary pulmonary low-grade marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT-lymphoma). Immunotherapy (Rituximab) and chemotherapy (Bendamustine) were started leading to a progressive improvement of the disease. (Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis 2017; 34: 260-263).

Smoking cessation intervention within the framework of a lung cancer screening program: preliminary results and clinical perspectives from the "Cosmos-II" Trial.

Data coming from the literature investigating the effectiveness and interaction between smoking cessation (SC) and lung cancer screening (LCScr) are still sparse and inconsistent. Herein, we report the preliminary results from the ongoing lung cancer screening trial ("Cosmos-II") focusing our analysis on the inter-relationship between the SC program and the LCScr.
