Comprehensive analysis of imaging and pathological features in 20 cases of pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare, indolent subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with distinct radiological and pathological characteristics. Clinically, patients may present with nonspecific symptoms such as cough or dyspnea, and the disease can mimic other pulmonary conditions. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) imaging plays a critical role in identifying characteristic lung patterns, such as nodules, consolidation, or ground-glass opacities, which help in differentiating pulmonary MALT lymphoma from other pulmonary disorders. The study aimed to identify clinical characteristics based on the HRCT imaging features and pathological findings in patients with pulmonary MALT lymphoma.
