Primary lymphosarcoma of the lung.

Primary lymphosarcoma of the lung with unusual features.

Two unusual cases of primary lymphocytic lymphosarcoma of the lung are presented. The first patient is a 5-year-old girl who showed a massive involvement of the entire right lung by tumour. She was treated by radiotherapy followed by cyclophosphamide and was alive and well one year later. The second patient was an adult man who presented clinically with a tumour of the chest wall.

This figure agrees closely with the post-mortem incidence reported by Robbins (1953) in an even larger series. More recentl...
