Abstract
The lung can be affected by many lymphomas; however, a few of them can primarily arise in the lung, which is extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and lymphomatoid granulomatosis. Hodgkin lymphoma can be seen in the lung, but in most cases directly invades the lung from mediastinum. Many other lymphomas can also set lung lesions, but most of them are systemic expansions of nodal lymphomas, and a diagnosis has been already made. Therefore, these other types are much less frequently seen in pulmonary pathology practice. Although the lung is like the mediastinum and the skin a T-cell-rich organ, B-cell lymphomas are much more frequent.
