Abstract
OBJECTIVE, The objective of this study was to determine the CT findings in pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma and to correlate these CT findings with histologic specimens. CONCLUSION. In the ii patients reviewed, the most common CT appearance of p ulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma was consolidation with air bronchograms, correlating histologically with a cellular lymphocytic in filtrate expanding the interstitium and compressing adjacent alveoli, produ cing air bronchograms.
