title: Primary pulmonary lymphoma: About five cases and literature review.
abstract: Primary pulmonary lymphoma is a very rare neoplasm that represents only 3-4% of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), less than 1% of NHL and only 0.5-1% of primary pulmonary malignancies. Primary pulmonary NHL is most commonly represented by marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type (MALT lymphoma). The clinical characteristics, methods of treatment, and outcomes are not well-elucidated. We, therefore, reviewed the medical records of five Moroccan patients who were pathologically and clinically diagnosed as primary pulmonary lymphoma and treated in our institute of oncology.
