A 71-year-old @entity1 was admitted to our hospital because of systemic @entity4 and exertional @entity1353 . Chest radiographs revealed infiltrative shadows in both lung fields, @entity1143 , and @entity2294 . Seven years before, he had undergone gastric surgery for a gastric ulcer with @entity706 . In the pathologic diagnosis based on the percutaneous lung biopsy, hyalinizing @entity738 was suspected. For a more thorough diagnosis, the @entity1 was subjected to an open lung biopsy, and the final diagnosis was low-grade @entity1892 (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) type. Gallium scintigraphy showed accentuated accumulation in the left neck and @entity1375 was present. Histologic re-examination of the resected stomach revealed infiltration of centrocyte-like cells and lymphoepithelial lesions, compatible with the pathologic features of @entity1074 . We considered that the @entity356 and the pulmonary, pleural, and @entity259 of @entity1074 had occurred seven years apart in this case. Thyroid hormone replacement and @entity3726 therapy improved the symptoms and @entity2 size by 73%. @entity1074 tend to remain localized for a long period. The multiorgan involvement seen in this case is rather rare.
