Sumario:Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is an extranodal low-grade B-cell lymphoma. Pulmonary MALT lymphoma is considered to originate from bronchial MALT and is also referred to as bronchial-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Pulmonary MALT lymphoma is a rare disease, but it is the most frequent subset of primary pulmonary lymphoma. The median age at diagnosis of pulmonary MALT lymphoma is 50–60 years, with only few patients aged <30 years. This is the case report of a 19-year-old patient with pulmonary MALT lymphoma presenting with a multiple pulmonary consolidation pattern on computed tomography scans, who underwent successful chemotherapeutic treatment with a chlorambucil-based regimen.
