Abstract
Primary lung lymphomas are rare tumors representing less than 1% of malignant tumors of the lung. The most frequent form is the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Ocular involvement is also rare and it is mostly located in the lachrymal glands. We report the case of a patient with pulmonary MALT lymphoma associated with synchronous involvement of the lachrymal glands. This study illustrates the nonspecific clinical, radiological and evolutionary features of this disease.Entities:
