Pulmonary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma mimicking infection.
Progressive pulmonary shadows prompted investigations which provided the diagnosis of pulmonary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in three patients (two with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Rapid progression of radiographic abnormalities seen in these three patients is unusual for pulmonary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and mimics disease evolution commonly associated with pulmonary infections.
