Popis: Primary pleural lymphoma is very rare and occurs in only seven percent (7%) of lymphoma cases [1]. There are very few reports of primary pleural lymphoma and even then, it has been described in association with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection or pyothorax [2]. However, we report a case of a patient with no history of HIV or pyothorax who presented with chronic cough and eventually progressively worsening dyspnea and found to have pleural thickening and a pleural-based mass. He was diagnosed with a rare case of primary pleural Hodgkin's lymphoma via thoracoscopy.
