Resumo

Os autores apresentam um caso de linfoma MALT do pulmão numa doente assintomática mas com imagens radiológicas exuberantes, cujo diagnóstico só foi possível por biópsia pulmonar cirúrgica obtida por toracoscopia assistida por vídeo, após a ineficácia da biópsia pulmonar transbrônquica e da punção aspirativa transtorácica. Descrevem os aspectos clínicos e radiológicos daquela forma de linfoma, salientando a possibilidade de expressão assintomática prolongada e discutem problemas de diagnóstico, prognóstico e terapêutica.

Abstract

The authors report a case of pulmonary MALT lymphoma in an asymptomatic patient with a chest radiograph showing bilateral infiltrates. The diagnosis was made by surgical lung biopsy performed by videoassisted thoracoscopy. The transbronchial lung and the transthoracic core-needle biopsies were non-diagnostic. The clinical and radiological features of the pulmonary MALT lymphoma are described and relevant diagnostic, prognostic and treatment factors are discussed.
