Primary pleural lymphoma

Discussion:

Primary pleural lymphomas are rare. More commonly, pleural involvement is seen in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma as secondary pleural effusions or thickening.

Two types of primary pleural lymphomas are described in the literature: in HIV positive patients (as in this case), and associated with pyothorax in patients with tuberculosis.

Sadly, the patient did not survive this admission.
