Lung parenchymal involvement of primary bone marrow follicular lymphoma: a rare case study

We presented a rare case of primary bone marrow follicular lymphoma that infiltrated the lung parenchyma. In cases suspected to be malignant lymphoma, immunohistochemistry or other genetic examination is important even if 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose (18F‐FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography‐computed tomography (PET‐CT) seems to be a false‐positive because of the possibility of a sarcoid reaction.
