Lymphoma Masquerading as Lung Cancer.

Abstract

Lymphoma typically manifests as lymphadenopathy, with or without solid organ involvement. Lymphomatous masses tend to respect anatomical structures, encasing rather than invading them. Tumor thrombus formation is a rare presentation in lymphoma that has been previously described in the liver and kidneys. We report an unusual presentation of B-cell lymphoma with imaging findings suggestive of metastatic lung cancer with tumor thrombus in the pulmonary vein and left atrium.
