Background. Pulmonary lymphoma in young patients under 40 years of age without immunological deficiency is rare. Case. A 27-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with bilateral multiple pulmonary opacities on a chest radiograph. Computed tomography revealed an irregular marginal nodular shadow 2.8cm in diameter in right S^4 with spiculation and multiple alveolar opacities in left S^<1+2>, S^4, S^<10> and right S^2. The tumors in the left lung were resected thoracoscopically, and were well defined and white in color. Pathologically, the specimens were diagnosed as extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue. The patient rejected immediate treatment and chose to be followed up until tumor progression was confirmed. Conclusion. We encountered a rare case of primary multiple pulmonary lymphomas of bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue in a young person.
