Diagnosis With Brief Discussion
- Diagnosis
- Primary pleural lymphoma (marginal zone B-cell lymphoma)
- Radiologic Findings
- Contrast-enhanced CT scans show diffuse pleural mass along the right inferior posterior chest wall and pleural effusion. The pleural mass shows homogeneous enhancement with intercostal arteries running through the mass showing 'sandwich sig'. FDG PET-CT shows sheet like hypermetabolism in right pleural mass. Ultrasonography-guided percutaneous needle biopsy was performed from the pleural mass with 18-G automated cutting needle. Histopathologic examination demonstrated monotonous infiltration of small B-cells, and low grade B-cell lymphoma (marginal zone B-cell lymphoma) was diagnosed.
