METHODS: The clinicopathological characteristics and the experience of surgical treatment of 10 cases of PPL and 2 of PLG were analyzed retrospectively . All cases were operated and pathologically confirmed. RESULTS: PPL accounted for 10 (0.5%) of 1887 cases of primary pulmonary malignant carcinoma in the same period, and PLG for 2 (0.1%) of 1887 cases. Eight cases were nonHodgkins lymphoma ( Btype) confirmed by pathology, of them 2 cases died within 3 years postoperatively. The other cases were Hodgkins disease and died within 3 years postoperatively. Two cases were PLG. CONCLUSION: PPL and PLG are clinically rare with typical clinicopathological characteristics respectively. The correct diagnosis is difficult preoperatively. Managment modalities for PPL include surgical theatment, postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Surgical treatment is the first choice for PLG.
