Key result
In 66 patients with pulmonary MALToma, the most frequent CT pattern was pneumonia-like consolidative (63.6%), and the estimated 5-year cumulative overall survival rate was 100.0%.
Why the study?
Pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma is the most frequent subset of primary pulmonary lymphoma, but its radiologic characteristics based on CT observations, pathologic features, and prognosis warranted identification.
Comparison
Three CT patterns: single nodular/mass vs multiple nodular/mass vs pneumonia-like consolidative

Retrospective study

Recognizing pneumonia-like CT patterns may aid diagnosis; leaves open optimal management strategies for this rare entity.
Observational (n=66)
Pulmonary MALToma most frequently presents as a pneumonia-like consolidative pattern on CT and has an excellent 5-year overall survival rate of 100%.
Bi et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma) (n=66). Pulmonary MALToma was evaluated on CT patterns and 5-year cumulative overall survival rate. In 66 patients with pulmonary MALToma, the most frequent CT pattern was pneumonia-like consolidative (63.6%), and the estimated 5-year cumulative overall survival rate was 100.0%.
