摘要：

The authors reviewed all cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related lymphoma (ARL) seen at their institution between January 1982 and September 1988 to determine the frequency and appearance of ARL in the chest. Of 35 patients with ARL, 11 (31%) had biopsy-proved thoracic involvement. This frequency is significantly greater than that previously reported. The radiologic appearance of the thoracic involvement varied. Pleural effusion, interstitial and alveolar lung disease, nodules, and, infrequently, hilar and mediastinal adenopathy were observed. ARL of the chest was most commonly extranodal. Pleural effusion and lung disease were the two most common manifestations of ARL on chest radiographs and computed tomographic scans. The authors recommend that clinicians treating patients with suspected or known AIDS consider ARL when a pleural effusion or a noninfective interstitial or alveolar process is present.
