Pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma: CT and pathologic findings.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the CT findings in pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma and to correlate these CT findings with histologic specimens. CONCLUSION In the 11 patients reviewed, the most common CT appearance of pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma was consolidation with air bronchograms, correlating histologically with a cellular lymphocytic infiltrate expanding the interstitium and compressing adjacent alveoli, producing air bronchograms.
