Follicular lymphoma is the most common indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Pulmonary parenchymal involvement by lymphoma can be seen, among many presentations, as consolidation and ground?glass opacities. We present a case of a 61-year-old woman with follicular lymphoma who has never received therapy and now presents respiratory symptoms. Positron emission tomography demonstrated worsened splenomegaly and new radiotracer-avid pulmonary opacities, the latter resulting positive for organizing pneumonia. She initiated prednisone treatment, and pulmonary opacities improved.
