May support limited resection for diagnosis in select pulmonary MALT lymphoma with GGOs; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Case Report (n=1)
Pulmonary MALT lymphoma can rarely present as multiple pure ground-glass opacities on CT and may follow an indolent course manageable with close observation.
Ding et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Primary pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma (n=1). Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with right wedge resection was evaluated on Diagnosis and clinical course. A 35-year-old woman with pulmonary MALT lymphoma presenting as multiple pure ground-glass opacities underwent limited surgical resection for diagnosis and remained stable without progression during 12 months of follow-up.
