Abstract
Learning Points: Primary pulmonary T-cell lymphoma can manifest as atypical asthma and non-resolving pneumonia, making early diagnosis challenging.Malignant aetiologies, including primary pulmonary T-cell lymphoma, should be considered in cases of bilateral consolidations that do not respond to antibiotics and present CT angiogram signs.Histopathology remains the gold standard in primary pulmonary T-cell lymphoma diagnosis, wherein flexible bronchoscopy should be employed as a minimally invasive first-line approach for tissue biopsy.
