title: Malignant lymphoma of the lung: report of an autopsy case and review of literature.
abstract: A 74-year-old man complained of a cough and left chest pain. Chest X-ray showed marked pleural effusion and a large mass in the left lower lobe, and air bronchograms within the mass were observed by tomography and computed tomography (CT). About 3 months later, the patient died of left atelectasis and pneumonia. Autopsy revealed a localized tumor in the lower lobe of the left lung. Histologically, proliferation of lymphoma cells was noted. Immunoglobulin staining showed B cell-type monoclonality. No metastasis was evident except for a very small nodular area in the left renal cortex.
