Bronchus Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma Presenting with Immunodeficiency and Multiple Pulmonary Nodules

Abstract EN

Bronchus Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma (BALTOMA) is a rare subgroup of pulmonary non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHLs) comprising less than 1% of all cases.

It constitutes 3.6% of all extranodal lymphomas and only 0.5–1% of primary pulmonary malignancies.

They are usually low grade B-cell lymphomas and are considered to originate from the mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) of the bronchi.

Here, we represent a rare case of BALTOMA presenting with immunodeficiency and multiple pulmonary nodules.
