  • Title: [Pulmonary MALT lymphoma and paraneoplastic syndromes].
    Author: Monge E, Coolen-Allou N, Mascarel P, Gazaille V.
    Journal: Rev Mal Respir; 2016 Nov; 33(9):799-803. PubMed ID: 27155897.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Primary pulmonary lymphoma is a rare disease; diagnosis is often delayed because of atypical clinical presentation and slow progression. OBSERVATION: A 42-year-old woman consulted because of haemoptysis. Chest CT-scan showed multiple nodular calcified masses. A lung biopsy led to the diagnosis of pulmonary amyloidosis with pulmonary MALT lymphoma (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue). The patient developed two paraneoplastic syndromes: a hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and mucinosis. CONCLUSION: Multiple nodular amyloidosis can be a mode of presentation for pulmonary lymphoma. Paraneoplastic syndromes must be systematically considered and can help in early diagnosis of the disease and its relapse.
