摘要
Objective: To investigate the clinical features and the reason of misdiagnosis of consolidative primary pulmonary lymphoma. Methods: Retrospective study was conducted for three cases with consolidative primary pulmonary lymphoma(PPL). The relevant literatures of primary pulmonary lymphoma in recent years were also reviewed. Results: All patients had been misdiagnosed for a long time due to the non-specific clinical features. Conclusion: Consolidative PPL is difficult to diagnose and is misdiagnosed frequently in clinic. Definitive diagnosis of PPL requires an adequate biopsy specimen. The most important prognostic factor is the histology.
