Primary pulmonary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a very rare neoplasm. It is represented most commonly by marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type. We here in report a case of 64 year old male presented with a lung mass that was diagnosed to be NHL, with metastases to liver and kidney. It represents only 3-4% of extranodal NHL, less than 1% of NHL, and only 0.5- 1% of primary pulmonary malignancies. Current treatment options are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.
