| Popis: | A 78‐year‐old man with exposure to asbestos was admitted to our hospital for back pain. A chest computed tomography showed right pleural effusion and a significant increase in the size of masses in the right chest wall over an interval of six months. He did not undergo further examinations and expired one month later. Autopsy revealed the presence of diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and complicated by benign asbestos pleural effusion. We considered that this tumour had originated from the soft tissue in the chest wall based on the radiological and autopsy findings. The present report highlights that primary DLBCL of chest wall might be associated with chronic inflammation due to asbestos‐related pleural diseases. Here, we report a case of primary diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) presenting as chest wall tumour complicated by benign asbestos pleural effusion, which was confirmed by autopsy. |
