  • Title: Lung resection for treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura associated with a pulmonary lymphoma.
    Author: Elsayed H, Hassan M, Nash J, Lyall M, Poullis M.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2009 Oct; 88(4):e37-8. PubMed ID: 19766775.
    Abstract:
    Most primary lymphomas of the lung arise from the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue of the bronchus. Autoimmune phenomena are associated with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; among them immune thrombocytopenia is one of the most rare. In this study we report an extremely rare case of a patient with primary pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma associated with autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura, with rapid restoration of normal platelet count after lung resection.
