Abstract
Primary pulmonary lymphomas of MALT type (BALT) are rare and their therapeutic management is very heterogeneous but reflects the data of the literature. We report the case of a patient who presented for several months recurrent pneumonia and rebellious to antibiotics. A scano-guided biopsy with anatomo-pathological study allowed making the diagnosis. An immuno-chemotherapy with monoclonal antibodies and single-agent chemotherapy has achieved a good response.
