Abstract

We present a rare case of malignant lymphoma developing from the wall of chronic empyema thoracis. A 54-year old man with a 35 year history of tuberculosis empyema was admitted due to right chest pain and general weakness for 2 months. Under the
impression of chronic empyema thoracis with destroyed right lung and tumor on posterior costophrenic sulcus, pleuropneumonectomy including tumor was performed as a single procedure through a right thoracotomy. The tumor arose from the thickened
pleura,
and it was histologically and immunologically diffuse large cell(non-cleaved) B-cell non-Hodgkin' s lymphoma(NHL) (Korean J Thoracic Cardiovas Surg 1993;26:571-4)
