Extensive evaluation revealed no evidence of lymphoma a t any other site. She required an open lung biopsy for definitive diag nosis and was found to have unresectable tumor at thoracotomy. The pat ient achieved a complete remission with combination chemotherapy and r emains in clinical remission 14 months after completion of therapy.
