The primary pulmonary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PPDLBCL), a kind of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, itself is a rare entity. Its association with primary B-cell gastric lymphoma has not been established yet. Herein we present a case of PPDLBCL along with a literature review. This case is special and extremely rare as it has concurrent primary gastric B-cell lymphoma.
