[A case of non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma with a lymphoma nodule moving around within a lung bulla].
A 53-year-old man was admitted to Nagoya City University Hospital with complaining of bloody sputum and an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray film. The chest X-ray film showed a giant bulla in the right upper and middle lung fields and a mass shadow inside the bulla. In addition he had the swelling of bilateral inguinal lymph nodes. He was suspected to having bleeding from the lung bulla, and received a right upper lobectomy. The resected specimen showed a lobular tumor in the parenchyma of lung and an oval lymphoma nodule moving around inside of lung bulla. Histologically, both the lung tumor and inguinal lymph-nodes were non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma, diffuse and plasmacytoid large cell type.
