abstract: We report a case of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the lung treated by surgery and rituximab. A 47-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of the lesion in the right middle lobe, which had enlarged gradually. Chest computed tomography(CT) scanning showed an infiltrative shadow of the right middle lobe. He underwent right middle lobectomy for the MALT lymphoma whose diagnosis and treatment. The tumor was pathologically diagnosed as CD20 immunostaining was positive and the adjuvant treatment by rituximab was performed.
