title: Pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoma in a patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease.
abstract: A 61-year-old female with a past medical history significant for von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome presented with multiple bilateral pulmonary lesions found on surveillance computed tomography scan. Positron emission tomography demonstrated avidity in a lesion in the right upper lobe. After an equivocal biopsy, a lobectomy via a thoracoscopic approach was performed as this lesion was concerning for a primary lung cancer. Pathology revealed a diagnosis of pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a pulmonary MALT lymphoma in a patient with VHL.
