The mystery of a lung mass: a case of small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
J Pioneering Med Students Jan ;4(2):52-4.

We are highlighting a rare presentation of small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) presenting as a huge lung mass without mediastinal lymph node involvement. At initial presentation, the differential diagnosis did not include a lymphoma. Our patient was diagnosed only after two CT- guided biopsies of the lung mass. Immunohistochemistry was consistent with the diagnosis of SLL. Hence, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) can be considered as a differential diagnosis for a lung mass with clinical suspicion of malignancy to prevent the delay in diagnosis and treatment.
