CT manifestation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma as a solitary pulmonary nodule in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
We present a case of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome with primary pulmonary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that manifested as a solitary pleura-based mass lesion. Its differentiation from an infectious process imposed a diagnostic dilemma. The importance of awareness of such an entity for earlier diagnosis is stressed.
