Lee, Ha, Kim, Jung, Lee, Kim, Lee, Hur, Jung, Jung, Lee, Lee, Kim, Shin, Shim, In, Kang, and Yoo: A Case of Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma with Diffuse Bilateral Pulmonary Infiltration and Whole Body Rash

Abstract

Primary pulmonary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) account for 0.4% of all types of lymphoma. Most cases are of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type, low grade B-cell lymphoma, but cases of the T-cell type are rare. The radiological findings frequently show hilar or mediastinal lymphadenopathy, but lung parenchymal involvement is uncommon. Here, a case of a patient, who presented with fever, generalized erythema, diffuse pulmonary infiltration and pleural effusion, diagnosed as a peripheral T-cell lymphoma, is reported.
