Differential clinical and CT imaging features of pneumonic-type primary pulmonary lymphoma and pneumonia: a retrospective multicentre observational study
INTRODUCTION: Pneumonic-type primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL) is often misdiagnosed as pneumonia in clinical practice. However, this disease requires different treatments, which calls for a correct diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 227 patients with pneumonic-type PPL (n=72) and pneumonia...

description | INTRODUCTION: Pneumonic-type primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL) is often misdiagnosed as pneumonia in clinical practice. However, this disease requires different treatments, which calls for a correct diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 227 patients with pneumonic-type PPL (n=72) and pneumonia (n=155) from 7 institutions were retrospectively enrolled between January 2017 and January 2022. Clinical features (age, sex, cough, sputum, fever, haemoptysis, chest pain, smoking, weight loss and laboratory results (haemoglobin, white blood cell count, C reactive protein level and erythrocyte sedimentation rate)) and CT imaging characteristics (air bronchogram, bronchiectasis, halo sign, pleural traction, pleural effusion, lymphadenopathy, lesion maximum diameter and CT attenuation value) were analysed. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed for model construction based on independent predictors in identifying pneumonic-type PPL. In addition, we used a calibration curve and decision curve analysis to estimate the diagnostic efficiency of the model. RESULTS: The patients with pneumonia showed a higher prevalence of sputum, fever, leucocytosis and elevation of C reactive protein level than those with pneumonic-type PPL (p=0.002, p<0.001, p=0.011 and p<0.001, respectively). Bronchiectasis, halo sign and higher CT attenuation value were more frequently present in pneumonic-type PPL than in pneumonia (all p<0.001). Pleural effusion was more commonly observed in patients with pneumonia than those with pneumonic-type PPL (p<0.001). Also, sputum, fever, elevation of C reactive protein level, halo sign, bronchiectasis, pleural effusion and CT attenuation value were the independent predictors of the presence of pneumonic-type PPL with an area under the curve value of 0.908 (95% CI, 0.863 to 0.942). CONCLUSION: Pneumonic-type PPL and pneumonia have different clinical and imaging features. These differential features could be beneficial in guiding early diagnosis and subsequent initiation of therapy. |
