Abstract
The development of a solitary chest wall mass due to underlying malignant lymphoma is an uncommon clinical presentation. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, can affect multiple organs including the lungs and pleural space. In some instances, there may be preexisting inflammation such as a chronic pyothorax before lymphoma arises in these locations. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma may frequently disseminate to extranodal sites, but involvement of the chest wall has been reported in nearly 100 cases. This report details an unusual presentation of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma from an enlarging chest wall mass and an underlying lymphomatous pleural effusion.
Keywords: Chest wall mass, lymphoma, pleural effusion, pyothorax.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
