Abstract

Pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia (PNLH) is a rare non-neoplastic disorder, which can mimic malignancy due to its indolent yet progressive nature. Here, we report a case of surgically proven PNLH that progressed over many years from a ground glass opacity to a solid cavitating lesion mimicking a slow growing primary lung carcinoma.
