Alami Abstract: Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a low-grade extranodal B-cell lymphoma. Pulmonary MALT lymphoma (pMALToma) is a rare but most frequent primary pulmonary lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) may precede chronic inflammatory disease and be associated with immunodeficiency. Tuberculosis, in other ways, is a chronic infectious disease whose expression and reactivation are known to be facilitated by cell-mediated immune deficiency. Coexistence of NHL and tuberculosis in the same organ is relatively rare. We present a case report of a 50-year-old woman with a diagnosis of pulmonary MALT lymphoma based on bronchoscopic biopsy. The patient did not improve with chemotherapy, and chest CT control showed left upper lobe consolidation with an appearance associated with diffuse pulmonary nodules and micronodules. Tuberculosis was confirmed by CT-guided biopsy. Simultaneous anti-tuberculosis treatment and chemotherapy were started, and the patient's clinical symptoms improved.
