title: [Primary "small-cell" lymphoma of the lung. A clinical case report].
abstract: Primary lymphoma of the lung is a rare pathological condition arising from mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). The lack of specific symptoms and the related diagnostic problems induced the authors to report a clinical case recently observed. Therefore, some histopathologic characteristics useful for a correct differential diagnosis with the pseudolymphoma of the lung and the interstitial lymphocyte pneumonia are analysed.
