ABSTRACT

A 59-year-old man had pneumothorax associated with giant emphysematous bullae in his right lung 4 years ago, and his pneumothorax improved after conservative treatment with a chest tube. A nodule was found in his right middle lung lobe by chest CT scanning during re-evaluation of the bullae. Neurofibromatosis type1 (NF1) was also diagnosed based on a characteristic skin rash and his family history. Although we suspected the nodule of being lung cancer prior to surgery, surgical pathology specimens revealed mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Pulmonary MALT lymphoma associated with NF1 has never been reported, and we considered this to be a rare case.
