A case of pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma (PHG) and concomitant low-grade, small lymphocytic lymphoma of the lung is presented. This is the first occurrence of pulmonary lymphoma in patients with PHG ever reported. The infiltrates around a left lower lobe nodule with left pleural effusion and thickening seen on chest CT were histologically proven to be lymphomatous infiltrates of the lung, pleura, and chest wall muscle. We believe that the lymphoma developed around the nodule and spread to the pleura and muscle in our patient. When infiltrates around the nodules, pleural effusion, or adenopathy are developed in a patient with proven PHG, close follow-up, biopsy, or careful cytology should be seriously considered to rule out a developing lymphoma.

Key Words: mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma • non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma • pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma • pulmonary lymphoma • small lymphocytic lymphoma
