Abstract
- Nodular Lymphoid hyperplasia of the lung has a very low incidence and both the nomenclature and this disease entity have changed since its appearance in the 1960s. It has recently been classified as lymphoid hyperplasia of the B cell associated lymphoid tissue. Ground glass opacity was incidentally diagnosed in the right lower lobe of the a 60 year old male and he underwent right lower lobe lobectomy. The opacified lesion in the chest CT was diagnosed as nodular lymphoid hyperplasia under microscopic examination.
