Abstract

Nodular Lymphoid hyperplasia of the lung has a very low incidence and both the nomenclature and this disease entity have changed since its appearance in the 1960s. It has recently been classified as lymphoid hyperplasia of the B cell associated lymphoid tissue. Ground glass opacity was incidentally diagnosed in the right lower lobe of the a 60 year old male and he underwent right lower lobe lobectomy. The opacified lesion in the chest CT was diagnosed as nodular lymphoid hyperplasia under microscopic examination.

폐에서 발생한 경결 림프구성 증식증(Nodular Lymphoid Hyperplasia)은 빈도가 매우 낮은 질병으로 병리학적인 분류 역시 많은 변화가 있었다. 현재 경결 림프구성 증식증은 림프종과는 구별되는 B cell associated Lymphoid tissue에서 기원하는 림프구성 증식증으로 분류된다. 환자는 60세 남자환자로 특이 증상 없이 지내던 중 건강검진상 시행한 흉부전산화 단층 촬영에서 간유리상음영이 우폐 하엽에서 발견되어 우하엽 절제술 시행받은 뒤 병리학적 소견상 경결 림프구성 증식증이 진단되어 보고하는 바이다.
