폐에 발생하는 원발성 비호지킨 림프종은 아주 드문 질환으로 대개 폐문이나 중격동의 림프절 비대로 나타난다. 조직학적으로 대개 low grade B-cell 형태로 주로 발생하고 말초 T세포 형태로 폐에 원발성으로 발생하는 림프종은 드문 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 발열과 전신 홍반이 있으면서, 흉부 X-선 사진상 급속히 진행하는 미만성 폐침윤 및 흉수 소견을 보여 초기에는 감염성 질환을 의심하였으나 피부병변과 림프절 및 골수 검사상 말초 T세포 림프종으로 진단된 예를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
Primary pulmonary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) account for 0.4% of all types of lymphoma. Most cases are of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type, low grade B-cell lymphoma, but cases of the T-cell type are rare. The radiological findings frequently show hilar or mediastinal lymphadenopathy, but lung parenchymal involvement is uncommon. Here, a case of a patient, who presented with fever, generalized erythema, diffuse pulmonary infiltration and pleural effusion, diagnosed as a peripheral T-cell lymphoma, is reported.
