RARE CASE OF NODULAR LYMPHOID HYPERPLASIA OF LEFT LUNG IN THE PATIENT WITH PREVIOUS PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS

Abstract

To describe the case of rare benign lymphoproliferative disorder- pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia in the patient with previous pulmonary tuberculosis. In the case of pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia clinical, laboratory, instrumental and morphological examination was performed. 44-year-old woman in 7years after successfully treated infiltrative drug-susceptible tuberculosis of the right lung, was hospitalized with a suspected tumor of the left lung root. The patient underwent left-sided pneumonectomy with lymph nodes dissection. The results of histopathological and immunohistochemical studies evidenced on nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the left lung. Pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of the lung with favorable prognosis. For the purpose of differential diagnosis, it is necessary to apply immunohistochemistry.
