RESUMO
A 74-year-old man with no overt symptoms was referred for a chest computed tomography (CT) that revealed multiple bilaterally pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) with subtle changes in size over eight months. Surgical lung biopsies were performed in the left upper lobe. A pathologic study confirmed the intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL). This lesion was a nodule-like cluster of atypical cells, meaning that it had been localized for several months. Pulmonary IVLBCL may form focal lesions presenting as GGN on chest CT and progress slowly without apparent symptoms.
