The primary pulmonary lymphoma is a rare disease, representing 0.5 to 1% of the malignant lung tumors. In our countries, in spite of the increasing prevalence of the pulmonary tumors, aggravated by smoking and environmental factors, any case report of the primary pulmonary lymphoma is notified. We report a confirmed case of MALT lung lymphoma that is managed in our hospital. Mr. S.B., 68-year-old man, not smoking, without particular professional exhibition, is admitted for a chronic cough with blood-streaked sputum, dyspnea, chest pain and loss of weight. His symptomatology is evolving for 4months. In the examination, the general health was passable and he presented a pulmonary condensation syndrome at right. The physical examination of others systems was normal. There was a biological inflammatory syndrome. The bacteriological examinations of the bronchial expectorations were negative. The chest CT showed bilateral alveolar opacities at the upper, with attraction of the fissures, without nodes. The bronchoscopy showed anomalies of the bronchial mucous membrane in 2 superior lobes. The perendoscopiques biopsies confirmed a MALT lung lymphoma. We did not find other localizations. Chemotherapy was proposed to our patient with favorable evolution. The MALT primary lung lymphoma must not be underestimated. Clinical manifestations and radiological characteristics are no specific and it's necessary to eliminate a lung cancer or tuberculosis in our countries. The difficulties of their diagnostic are intensified by the not availability of an adequate technical tray.
