Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting as an isolated soft-tissue chest wall mass.

摘要

A 68-year-old male sought opinion after a colleague died of mesothelioma. Plain chest radiography (Fig. 1 A) revealed a left upper zone mass. Computed tomography (CT) scan (Fig. 1B) showed a positron emission tomography (PET) avid mass suspicious for mesothelioma. Thoracoscopy identified an extra-pleural soft-tissue mass. Biopsies revealed large cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (Fig. 2).
