title: Primary malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the lung arising in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT).
abstract: We describe a 10 yr follow-up of a patient with a primary malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the lung, arising in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Although the patient was not treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy, no peripheral spread occurred, confirming that MALT-associated lymphomas apparently remain localized until late in the course of the disease.
