Successful Diagnosis by Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgical Lung Biopsy in a Case of Progressive Primary Pulmonary Extranodal Natural Killer/T-cell Lymphoma, Nasal Type: A Case Report

Malignant pulmonary lymphoma is very rare and the majority of which are B-cell lymphomas. Since primary pulmonary extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL) is difficult to diagnose and associated with poor prognosis and aggressive course, some cases are diagnosed at the postm...

description Malignant pulmonary lymphoma is very rare and the majority of which are B-cell lymphomas. Since primary pulmonary extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL) is difficult to diagnose and associated with poor prognosis and aggressive course, some cases are diagnosed at the postmortem autopsy. We report a case of a 53-year-old man with primary pulmonary ENKL diagnosed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lung biopsy. This case explains the importance of VATS lung biopsy and in-depth evaluation, including flow cytometry, chromosome, genetic, and immunostaining tests, when primary pulmonary malignant lymphoma is suspected.
