Abstract
Primary pulmonary lymphoma is a rare neoplasm characterized by the proliferation of lymphoid tissue affecting the lungs. The most common subtype is marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Rarely, a MALT lymphoma transforms into a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and surgery. Here, we describe a patient with a primary pulmonary MALT lymphoma transforming into DLBCL. The purpose of this case report is to raise awareness of the relevant clinical and imaging features and to emphasize the need for a multidisciplinary approach to optimal management. In addition, we screened the PubMed and Embase databases for similar reports with a confirmed presence of transforming lymphoma within the lungs.

Abstract
Pulmonary B-cell lymphoma in the extranodal marginal zone of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), a rare tumor originating from bronchial mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, is the major histologic type of primary pulmonary lymphoma. Combined lung squamous cell carcinoma with pulmonary MALT lymphoma is rare. A 63-year-old male patient presented to the hospital because of a dry cough, and chest CT showed soft tissue density nodules in the upper lobe of the right lung, the boundary was visible lobulation and spiculation, and the middle lobe of the right lung showed patchy shadow, moderate enhancement, associated with bronchial traction. After a multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment (MDT) discussion, surgical resection was done for the patient, and postoperative pathological results showed pulmonary MALT lymphoma combined with lung squamous carcinoma. For complex pulmonary multiple lesions, judgment needs to be made after MDT discussion, and timely intervention is required for lesions suspicious of malignancy. There are no uniform recommendations for the management of mixed tumors of the lung, and an individualized treatment plan needs to be developed based on the patient's actual condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma) is the most frequent subset of primary pulmonary lymphoma. This study aimed to identify radiologic characteristics of pulmonary MALToma based on computed tomography (CT) observations and pathologic features, and further investigate its prognosis. METHODS Sixty-six patients (55.4 ± 10.9 years; 51.5% male) diagnosed as pulmonary MALToma by pathology were retrospectively enrolled. According to distributions and features of lesions shown on CT, patients were divided into three patterns, including single nodular/mass, multiple nodular/mass, and pneumonia-like consolidative. RESULTS Variety of the location and extent of the lymphomatous infiltration accounted for different characteristics demonstrated at CT. The pneumonia-like consolidative pattern was the most frequent pattern observed in 42 patients (63.6%), followed by single nodular/mass (21.2%) and multiple nodular/mass (15.2%). CT features included air bronchogram (72.7%), well-marginated halo sign (53.0%), coarse spiculate with different lengths (72.7%), angiogram sign (77.1% of 35 patients), peribronchovascular thickening (48.5%), irregular cavitation (16.7%) and pulmonary cyst (7.6%). The estimated 5-year cumulative overall survival rate of pulmonary MALToma was 100.0%. CONCLUSIONS Pulmonary MALToma demonstrates several characteristics at CT. Identification of the significant pulmonary abnormalities of this indolent disease entity might be helpful for early diagnosis and optimal treatment.

Abstract
Background The retrospective study was mainly performed to determine the clinical symptoms and radiological characteristics of primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL) to improve the recognition and diagnosis of the disease. Methods Between June 2007 and June 2019, the clinical data and radiological images of the 16 patients with PPL confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 16 patients with PPL (6 males and 10 females, aged 32 to 72 years, with a median age of 55.13 years), 9 patients were mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT) and 7 patients were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); all of the patients did not suffer from autoimmune disease [such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or Sjogren’s syndrome (SSS)]; and 11 patients had a long-term smoking history from 10 to 40 years. The common clinical symptoms were as follows: chest discomfort (n=8), cough (n=10), chest pain (n=7), fever (n=6), apnea (n=1), fatigue (n=4) and weight loss (n=3), however, 6 cases did not show clear symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Blood tests revealed anemia (n=6), thrombocytopenia (n=2), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level (n=7), C-reactive protein (CRP) (n=9), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (n=8) and no tumor-related indexes were detected abnormal. The chest radiological images showed a total of 8 cases with multiple masses, 2 cases with different types of nodes, 4 cases with patchy infiltration or consolidation shadow, with or without an air bronchogram, and 2 cases with a mixed manifestation. All the lesions were only involved in unilateral lung (13 right, 3 left), none of them located on bilateral lung fields. At the time of admission, the patients were misdiagnosed as lung cancer (n=9), pneumonia (n=5), tuberculosis (n=1), and diffuse interstitial lung disease (n=1). Then final pathological diagnosis was confirmed by surgery (n=9), percutaneous lung biopsy (n=5), and bronchoscopic biopsy (n=2). Conclusions PPL is a rare disease, though clinical symptoms and radiological characteristics are not typical, they serve as significant clues for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Accurate diagnosis mainly depends on histopathological examination, however, conducting a retrospectively study could improve and enrich our knowledge to the disease and reduce inappropriate treatments.

Abstract
Primary pulmonary lymphomas (PPLs) are rare lymphoproliferative malignancies arising from the lungs. The prognostic factors and optimal management of PPL have not been clearly defined due to its rarity. This study sought to characterize the significant prognostic factors and develop a validated nomogram for individualized prediction of survival outcomes in patients with PPL. A total of 2325 patients diagnosed with PPL between 1983 and 2010 were identified using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Older age at diagnosis, males, Hispanic race, non-marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue histology, Ann Arbor stage IV were significantly associated with worse OS on multivariable analysis. All treatment modalities, including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy were independent predictors of survival on univariable analysis. The nomogram built demonstrated good discriminative ability and calibration, with the C-index of 0.690 and 0.730 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively.

Abstract
Primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma; however, the involvement of the lung and central nervous system (CNS) in patients with DLBCL is rare. Furthermore, patients with DLBCL rarely exhibit specific clinical symptoms, which may delay definitive diagnosis. The present study reports the case of a 42-year-old man suffering from primary DLBCL with concurrent pulmonary and cerebral involvement. The patient suffered from human immunodeficiency virus infection and presented with symptoms including dry cough, thoracalgia, intermittent mild fever and mild headache. Thoracic computed tomography scans revealed multiple pulmonary masses, and brain magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed nodules in the left frontal cortex and bilateral basal ganglia. A percutaneous lung needle biopsy test confirmed the diagnosis of DLBCL. In addition, positron emission tomography revealed the involvement of other parts of the body in DLBCL. The aim of the present study was to present the clinical, radiological and histological characteristics of the patient, which may aid physicians in diagnosing pulmonary and CNS involvement in DLBCL.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyze the differences in imaging and clinical features between primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL) and secondary pulmonary lymphoma (SPL) to provide insight into pulmonary lymphoma for an improved clinical diagnosis. A retrospective study of 38 patients with pulmonary lymphoma (19 PPL and 19 SPL) treated between September 1, 2006, and December 31, 2015, was performed. The clinical manifestations, and computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography-CT images of each case were collected. χ2 and Fisher's exact tests were applied to assess statistically significant differences between PPL and SPL in terms of clinical and imaging features. The significant variables were further applied to canonical discriminate analysis. The CT results revealed that the occurrence of a >3-cm mass (P=0.007), peripheral location (lower than the segmental bronchi) (P=0.027), cavitation (P=0.008) and consolidation (P=0.027) were associated with PPL, while peripheral and hilar location (P=0.003) or mediastinal and hilar lymph node engagement (P=0.044) were predominantly observed in SPL. However, no significant differences between clinical manifestations and the maximum standard uptake value of pulmonary lesions in PPL and SPL were identified (all P>0.05). A function derived from discriminate analysis was generated that may predict the affiliation to PPL or SPL radiographically, with an overall accuracy of ≤92.1%. The results of the present study revealed that PPL and SPL exhibit distinctive features on CT images due to distinct molecular mechanisms and growth patterns. Careful observation of CT features may be useful in the diagnosis of PPL and SPL regarding the tumor morphology, location and lymph node involvement.

Abstract
Non hodgkins lymphoma is a common haematological malignancy characterized by abnormal clonal proliferation of T-cells, B-cells or both. The incidence of non hodgkins lymphoma is rapidly rising. The diagnosis and management of NHL presents as a challenge in developing countries like India due to high prevalence of tuberculosis, cost and poor patient compliance. We describe an unusual case of a patient who presented as a diagnostic dilemma and took 8 diagnosis before finally being confirmed as a case of NHL. A suspicion for NHL should always be kept in mind in a patient presenting with pneumonia, bilateral pulmonary infiltrates and eosinophilia.
