T-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Associated with Chronic Tuberculous Empyema: Case Report
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Malignant neoplasm associated with long-standing pleuritis or empyema is rare but a critical complication. Among 67 cases which were reported in English and Japanese literatures the cause of empyema was considered tobe tuberculosis in 51 cases.
The
most
common malignant disease associated with the long-standing pleural disease was non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and the majority of the malignant lymphomas were B-cell type. Detection of the malignancy combined with an empyema is difficult, however,
chest
radiograph or CT may show the evidence of malignant pleural disease.
We report a case of pathologically proven T-cell type malignant NHL associated with chronic tuberculous empyema in a 66-year-old male patient.
