Abstract
The association of malignant lymphoma with subsequent development of a solitary chest wall mass is uncommon. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a subcategory of non-Hodgkins lymphoma that commonly affects the stomach, thyroid, parotid glands, and lungs. There is a defined association between preexisting inflammation and the development of these lymphomas. It is also well known to have a predilection to disseminate to extranodal sites in a noncontiguous manner and has been previously reported to affect the chest wall in less than 100 cases. We present the case of an enlarging chest wall mass with an associated lymphomatous pleural effusion found to be an unusual presentation of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

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
