Abstract

NAZARIO DOLZ, Ana María et al. Pulmonary Malt lymphoma: case report and literature review. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2014, vol.53, n.2, pp.176-181. ISSN 0034-7493.

Primary pulmonary lymphoma is very uncommon, representing only 0.5 - 1 % of malignant lung tumoral malignancies. Here is a patient with histologically confirmed lung MALT lymphoma, who was operated on at "Saturnino Lora Torres" hospital in Santiago de Cuba province. The patient was followed up by the surgery and oncology service and he was disease-free for over three years. Malt-type lymphoma is rare, its diagnosis before surgery is practically non-existent, which hinders proper management of a case.

Keywords : Malt Lymphoma; Non-Hodgkin lymphoma; malignant lung tumor.
