Abstract

Mucosa‑associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is an extranodal low‑grade B‑cell lymphoma. Pulmonary MALT lymphoma is considered to originate from bronchial MALT and is also referred to as bronchial‑associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Pulmonary MALT lymphoma is a rare disease, but it is the most frequent subset of primary pulmonary lymphoma. The median age at diagnosis of pulmonary MALT lymphoma is 50‑60 years, with only few patients aged <30 years. This is the case report of a 19‑year‑old patient with pulmonary MALT lymphoma presenting with a multiple pulmonary consolidation pattern on computed tomography scans, who underwent successful chemotherapeutic treatment with a chlorambucil‑based regimen.
